    Ethnics are characteristics of a person or a certain group of people that share a culture ‚ religion‚ or language. Moral relativism is just a viewpoint from someone’s ethnical standards‚ which is how they feel. Basically it is something that people feel in their opinion that it is either right or wrong from a moral stand point in their eyes.

     The idea of Cultural Relativism‚ made clear by James Rachels‚ advocates that the proper thing to do with this newfound power is to not use it at all. Cultural Relativism is a theory asserting that there are no absolute truths of morals and therefore‚ a practice of a culture can not be judged as right or wrong. While its fundamentals may seem enlightened‚ radical practice of them prevents moral progress and the philosophy fails to acknowledge that immorality simply exists. Cultural Relativism’s major claim to fame is that the philosophy

    Individual vs. Cultural relativism Some people may argue that‚ “what’s right/moral in my eyes‚ may not be right/moral in your eyes”. This is considered individual moral relativism. Cultural moral relativism is putting culture at the top of relative ethical decision-making. (Argosy University‚ 2014). These two different moral relativisms differ in the fact that one is putting what you believe first and the other is putting your culture first. I believe that individual moral relativism has some strengths

    Flaws with Utilitarianism

    Among the most glaring problems that I see with Utilitarianism is its inclusion of animals under the umbrella that blankets this theory. It seems irrefutable that there exists an inordinate number of cases where the consequence that is against the best interest of an animal is favorable to humans‚ yet that dictating action is one that has been continually taken and condoned by the general public. This is a fundamental challenge‚ as the Utilitarian philosophy decrees that the pleasure and pain experienced

(Brusseau‚ pg.154) One major way this differs from traditional ethics is it directs one to conform to the society around them‚ abandoning whatever their own personal ethics are. The approach of "When in Rome‚ do as the Romans do" does best

They are both relevant in that they each follow along with one another in their approaches but both offer different directions and beliefs. Relativism is one of the challenges of morality and reflects upon the existence of morality in relation to culture‚ society‚ historical/era and individuals‚ only representing one of these relations but not the others.

    a MC‚ a rapper‚ movie star or just a public menace or figure; to me he was a tragic symbol. Although Tupac became wealthy and famous during the time he either live or wasn’t in jail‚ Tupac lived a tragic life. Like any other human Tupac had flaws. He seems to be living up to his aggressive gangster rap image with several arrests for violent offenses in the 1990’s. Tupac himself was a victim to violence‚ getting shot five times in the lobby of a recording studio during a mugging. As a rapper
