Question

Relativists deny the existence of absolute truth and live by the mantra, "What's (1)________ for you may not be (2)________ for me, and what's (3)________ for you may not be (4)________ for me." Choose the correct words to fill in each of the four blanks.A. TrueB. False

Answer 1

(1) true; (2) true; (3) false; (4) false

Step-by-step explanation:

Relativism is of the view or belief that there is no such thing as absolute truth and therefore absolute moral codes are invalid and should not be used to guide any society. This is because different cultures and different people have different beliefs which dictate what is right or wrong or what is moral and immoral. Instead essence one cannot say that what is true for this person or culture will apply universally to all cultures and people. This is a way of thinking more broadly and accommodating more belief systems and therefore invalidating absolute codes as is found in religions.
