“Are Moral Norms, Values, and Judgment Objective or are they Relative/Subjective?
Is Everything Relative?”
The moral norms, values, and judgments that exists in the society can either be true or false in respect to particular standpoints. Each standpoint in the community has an equal measure in comparison to ensure no inequality. Standpoints are derived from different cultures from different societies. The morality of a specific society is relative to its culture. History is highly regarded in society and is also used to determine if an act is morally right or wrong. Different cultures portray radically different moral values within the society or country they live. Despite the existence of different moral values, there do exist universal moral values that are shared by human beings.
Its logic for one not to pass moral judgments other people's behavior because you do not understand the beliefs and the practices they uphold regarding their culture.

For instance, in some cultures, moral values vary and what seems right in your lifestyle can be wrong in another culture. “The validity of moral principles relies on the cultural and subjective acceptance in society” (Louis, Pojman, and Lewis 2011), for a moral value to be considered a universal moral appraisal it has to be accepted by different societies. While some moral values, values, and judgments are relative, there are universal moral truths that cut across all humanity at all times.
According to Herodotus, that culture is king, and it should be respected. When Darius took the kingdom, he went ahead to request the Greek who was standing near him to accept and eat the remains of their fathers when they died in exchange for money. The Greek response shock Darius, because they refused to state that no amount of money was comparable to such an act. The culture of a particular group of people is dominant and robust in determining if something is right or wrong. Culture can't be bought since it owned by the people of that specific society. It is their pride and also becau...
