Lets start defining:
RELATIVISM:
Judging morality of an action on the legal and social standards of each society. “No cultures ethics are any better than any other’s” (Carl Rodrigues 2009).
Relativism is sometimes identified usually by its critics as the thesis that all points of view are equally valid. Relativism is the philosophical position that all points of view are equally valid and that all truth is relative to the individual. This means that all moral positions, all religious systems, all forms of art, all political movements, etc., are truths that are relative to individuals
There are 3 types of relativism:
In a society where we are all responsible for our deeds, who can tell us what's wrong or it's okay if our eyes are acting as we should? Judging people in concordance with our view is easy, we will always think that the other person is wrong when we believe have committed any unfair or irresponsible ... but injuzto for whom ??? The thread behavior of a person is based from his birthplace, his family, values that were imposed, even the people you relate daily
acts that for us could be terrorist attacks and multitudinales murderers for the person who is performing can be only an act of courage with your country and / or religion, this is an extreme case, but I hear about such simple cases as defined because for one culture is better conduxir the right side and the left side for others? These "good ways and bad" cosmically are not set in stone nor are derived from some absolute rules of conduct for something unknown. These are relative and rightly so, the end justifies the means, no matter what you do, if the way you're doing is fine for some, may be the worse for others
Another example of relativism unused acts which may be frowned upon is eg taste, anyone can quickly annoyed by a sound or a smell, that at the same moment another person may be fascinated in this sense it is true for one is not necessarily true for others
.
Now think of something ... what my eyes see and recognize the color blue for someone else may be yellow or vice versa? will this be an example of relativism?
well, according to Relativism ¿¿Does anyone have the right to punish someone judging their actions or behaviors ?? To say that something is wrong, first, we have a standard by which to weigh what is okay and what is wrong and to make a judgment. If that standard of right and wrong it is based on relativism, then, is not, after all a standard. Relativism, standards of right and wrong are derived from social norms. Because society changes, the rules change, also changing what is good or bad. If they change, then how can anyone be rightly judged for something he did wrong if that could wrong in the future become something good
on the other hand tries to explain that Universalism esxist as a theory and a guide to do things differently from relativism.
.
"Universal Truth" is the philosophical doctrine that asserts the existence of certain principles that are universally undisputed, being true, and therefore must be supported by all individuals and cultural groups to guide their behavior and to distinguish the good deeds the bad.
on the religious level, each religion try to prove that their own beliefs are true, likewise as in the political side, each party tries to convince people of his power and thus extend and concentrate their power from imperialist policies.
There are 3 types of relativism:
- Cognitive: States that all truth is relative. This would mean that no system of truth is more valid than another, and that there is no objective standard of truth. Naturally, this would negate the existence of a God of absolute truth.
- Moral / Ethical: All morality is relative to the social group within which it is built.
- According to the situation: The (right and wrong) ethics are dependent on the situation
