After you have finished mapping this argument for Mastery Check 4.3, in MindMup, click File --> Share and type rsaucedo@lamar.edu to share your maps with me for grading, just as you did for the MindMup - Honorlock Test.“Ethical relativism maintains that there are no objective moral facts, and asserts instead that right and wrong is nothing more than a matter of opinion. The most common variety of ethical relativism is cultural relativism which maintains that ethical judgments are simply expressions of a culture’s moral code. According to cultural relativism, a culture’s moral code determines what’s morally right and wrong within that culture in much the same way that a game’s rules determine what moves are permissible or impermissible within that game. Although it may appear attractive at first, cultural relativism isn’t the correct theory of ethics. First, because cultural relativism maintains that there are no cross-cultural ethical standards by which one culture can pass moral judgment on another, cultural relativism would have us believe that we can never correctly identify another culture’s practices as unethical. In at least some cases, however, we can correctly identify another culture’s practices as unethical. Didn’t we justifiably criticize Nazi Germany’s practices as unethical? Can’t we correctly judge the apartheid of South Africa to be unethical? Second, according to cultural relativism there is no such thing as moral progress because any assessment of the effect that things are better now than they used to be would require us to compare the current state of affairs to the former state of affairs using some set of objective criteria. In many instances, however, we have witnessed moral progress. Doesn’t the abolition of slavery constitute moral progress? What about the expansion of rights for women?”
