relativism

Cultural relativism is the view that all beliefs, customs, and ethics are relative to the individual within his own social context. In other words, right and wrong are culture-specific; what is considered right in one society may be considered wrong in another, and, since no universal standard of morality exists, no one has the right to judge another society’s customs. Morality is built within communal groups, for example a faith community e.g. a church. The morality of one social group is not better than any others, but they are very different, for example we don’t have the death penalty in this country but we can’t view country that do as worse or better, just different. The freedoms we have create a multicultural society where everybody is equally valued and have the same equal freedoms.
Diversity thesis what is the diversity thesis? It’s the view that ethical law differ in society to society as a result of unique historical development. This view was supported by Emile Durkheim they by referring to Australian aboriginal culture (native Australian culture) each group in their society have its own set of unique moral codes, all centred on a particular sacred spot.
Conventionalism is the philosophical attitude that fundamental principles of a certain kind are grounded on agreements in society. It may also be regarded as a deontological theory insofar as in its most extreme form, it may hold that the best action to perform in a given situation is always the most conventional action, regardless of the consequences of that action. The conventionality of moral behaviour may in this case be taken as the sole criterion of the appropriateness of that behaviour.
Moral relativism is the philosophical position that morality is relative and that people should try to be good, but only by following their own consciences. Ethical relativism can be contrasted with moral objectivism, the common position of many philosophers and religions that there is an objective morality,
