Moral Relativism
Moral truth and falsity hold only relative to a culture or moral framework.
What it claims
Moral relativism holds that moral rightness is relative to the practices of a particular society or to the moral framework an individual has adopted. Descriptive relativism is the anthropological observation that people's moral views in fact differ. Metaethical relativism is the stronger claim that there is no framework-independent standard for adjudicating among those views.
