The ethical theory that argues moral judgments are subject to the cultural context and time period in which they arise, thereby denying universal moral truths, is known as "Ethical Relativism." This theory holds that there are no absolute moral values that apply to all cultures and times; instead, what is morally right or wrong depends on the beliefs, customs, and practices of a particular society. |
