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 moral in one society may be
considered immoral in another, and, since no universal standard of morality
exists, no one has the right to judge another society’s customs.
