you an \"F\" on your next paper because, he says, only students who write in uent Klingon deserve passing grades, you'd be hopping mad and would no doubt argue [quite possibly in Howard Stemese} that the instructor was unfair. Reiavism As we saw in Chapter 1, cultural moral relativism is the view that whatever most members of a culture believe is morally right and good is morally right and good for them. In other words, morality is simply a matter of social convention. It follows from cultural moral relativism that there are no moral absolutes or universal moral values. If, say, abortion is widely accepted in Culture A and widely condemned in Culture B, abortion is morally acceptable in Culture A and morally wrong in Culture B. Values are \"relative\" because they depend on majority opinion, which varies both from culture to culture and within cultures as moral attitudes change over time. If relativism is true, it will usually be a simple matter to evaluate moral premises. If most people in the arguer's culture would agree with the premise, the premise is true. Otherwise, it is false
