Cultural Relativism And Moral Action

Cultural diversity refers to religious, sexual, racial, and other forms of social difference. A moral dilemma is a situation in which one must make a decision between two or more options such that the options involve seemingly ethical and/or unethical conduct. Address the following questions:

• What was the situation? What did the dilemma involve?
• What would a subjective moral relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that?
• What would a cultural relativist say is the right approach to the dilemma? Why would that kind of relativist say that? Is that approach correct?
• What did you the person confronting the dilemma decide to do? What moral justification did they give? Is that approach morally correct?
• Was there an objective moral truth (the objectively right thing to do) in this situation? Why or why not?
