First I would try to show how culture affects moral decisions‚ and that such shows the need for a relativistic explanation. I would propose a few arguments and analogies for the need of relativism‚ such as that in different situations the same moral rule may not apply. I would then try to see if there are any moral standards

distinctions may be artificial in significance. Though earth and hell differ in physical location (clearly Dante can leave hell and return to earth)‚ the morality of both places can be quite similar.
