Document Summary
Argument for relativism argument involves these 2 parts (general argument in support of relativism) Diversity thesis empirical claim cultural relativism relativity. Without this you could say that you are not biased, but with dependency thesis it says that you are indeed biased by this opinion. Another way of saying its relative to the culture the world is biased by your culture wrong about another culture world. Objectivism could appeal to the idea of universalism. Values are independent (simply inflexible of change) There are no absolute moral standards universal is abstract not dependent on the view of the world. What is right and wrong is not necessarily depicted by a person or a culture. Regardless of human activity there are rules that we know. Forms of right and wrong are abstract. What is right and wrong is universal (no matter where you are you can be entitled to your universal right)
