A Critique of Moral Relativism

Abstract

This paper makes a critique of moral relativism. There are currently valid, objective reasons to choose one culture's moral standards over another. Societies make moral choices based on their unique beliefs, customs, and practises. As a result of that, the researcher deems it fit to adopt an expository method to carry out this work. The essence of this is to explore and examine its social consequences. The researcher concludes by saying that moral values should not be restricted to absolutism or relativism, but rather, the two approaches should be ascertained.
