Examples Of Moral Absolutism

There are people in this world that believe that ethics are relative, but there are other people who believe that ethics are absolute too. For a person who believes ethics are truly relative, they evaluate acts as right or wrong based on their culture or the person. Ethical or moral relativism is the position in meta-ethics that morality is not universal, but that moral truths can be determined by factors relative to social, cultural, historical or personal circumstances. In the other hand, people who believe ethics are absolute, they support a set of rules that applies to everyone in general. Moral absolutism holds that moral and immoral acts are always so regardless of context. Other forms that fall into moral absolutism are ethical objectivism,
It states that there are no absolute moral rules and that there is no right or wrong. Some cultures may view certain behaviors as morally right while others cultures may view the same behavior as morally wrong. For example, some Muslim countries belief that men and women are not supposed to date, and that their parents arrange the marriage (PBS). While Muslims see this as morally right for their parents to arrange the marriage other cultures may find it morally wrong. They think that is that person’s job to look for a spouse if they want to get married rather than their parents look for them. Muslims should not be judged because of their beliefs based on their culture and ethical relativism support them. Another example is that while in the United States and other countries women can go out without having to cover their faces in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and other places women need to go out with their faces covered. Every country has its own religion and society should not judge other religions just because women need to cover their faces. Because certain thing are morally right is some cultures, it does not being it needs to be morally right is the other cultures as
For example, someone who believes in God would be against same sex marriage and say that homosexuality is an immoral and unnatural sin (Scripture). Usually a marriage is between a man and a woman, but that should not stop two same sex people from being happy and doing what makes them happy. Everybody should enjoy life and not judge other people based on their sexuality. God’s words or someone’s opinion should not affect a person point of view of life or stop living their life because someone simply says so. The Bible states that is wrong to kill a person and an unborn is a person, therefore is wrong to kill an unborn. Some people support that abortion should be illegal. For example, a woman who gets raped and finds out that she’s pregnant a few weeks after she got raped, should have the right to decide whether she wants to keep the baby or not. Also, a woman who cannot afford to have a baby because of the condition she lives should have the right to finish her pregnancy. For the case of the woman who got raped this baby could affect the woman in many ways. Even though the woman is going to love the baby, she will get reminded of what happened to her for the rest of her life because her daughter/son is the result of that rape. Is not fair that not only did she had to go through
