What is Moral Relativism? (What is Ethical Relativism?)

Moral relativism (or ethical relativism) is the view that moral judgments (what is considered as good or bad) are relative to the individual or society that holds them.

Thus, according to moral relativists, there is no objective right and wrong.

What is right for one person, society or circumstance may not necessarily be right for another.

In this video, we will discuss what moral relativism, its two forms (individual and cultural moral relativism), and two arguments that defend it.

One cannot even say : _Treat others the way you want to be treated._
A huge quantity of people fuel their identity from being miserable, submitted, enslaved, hurt and unhappy.
Not that happiness in its own relativity can be stated as a goal to be reached and turned over into a lasting way existence.
However, maybe the rule is _if i cannot sense myself, my existence in a happy way, then I take the shortcut and reaffirm me being alive by living in misery._
No hardship, no right live.
Sounds crazy, but check yourself whether man truly is escaping suffering.
I cannot other but doubt this paradigm.
