Cultural Relativism says that a society’s or cultures basic ideals are considered morally right. 2. Cultural Relativism cannot make sense of moral progress. 3. Cultural Relativism contradicts itself because different societies can have different views. 4. Cultural Relativism doesn’t account for morality’s true nature.

Gensler’s reasoning against cultural relativism(CR) is that the existence of so many subgroups makes it impossible to be correct.
