Question

Weak forms of ethical relativism hold that there are objective moral principles, even though they will need to be applied differently in different contexts.

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer: a. True

Explanation: Ethical Relativism is the belief that ethics are relative to an individual or a society. In essence, what is morally wrong to one person may not be to another. Each will have a reason and justification why it is right or wrong. Using this way of thinking, judgement of what is right or wrong has to be defined by the society’s rules and are not universal.

Ethical Relativism, in its weak form, makes room for objective moral principles while holding that these principles will need to be applied differently in different contexts.
