Essay # 1
Cultural Ethical Relativism is a root of the studies of Philosophy because we can see that since
the beginning of the end of war II, people had to reorganizes the ideas and desires that they were
thinking to do because if a war was end, they wanted to know what was next. Now they thought
that the system of relativism was a perfect example to follow because now with freedom they
could create a society that could make standards and style of live that they will enjoy the solution
that is not a correct. In the field of scientist it is know that there is not a absolute truth but there
are principals that make the reason that it can be observe that cannot be supreme the last result of
any culture. The ethical relativisms are absolute because are to the supervision like others
scientific judges. There is not a solution that could be correct or accepted. The ethic universal is a
norm that the target is to have a social development in society. This means that the norms have to
be correct from a specific group and the members that are in the group.
When it is talking about ethics, it is known that the references of that is to any norm in any
culture that has prohibitions and rules that are necessary for the surviving of the culture. To have
success in this action, the members of these groups have to respect and to be obedient in the rules
of ethics, to have reproduction and live. That group has to mold the structure about whatever
they want to do. By other hand with the rules of norms the interest of a society has one; it is

know that there is different kind of societies from others. There are some examples of norms like
virtue and obedience in the superior classes and ambition. The way that any position social in
each individual its found that they are systems and norms that can be choose that they can be
used. In contrast the ideologies that are up in the culture they will have the tendency to reject
that there is some contradiction. The will sustain that ethic norms form a society have the same
appreciation that those norms that want to maintain the social structure established.
There is a conflict between universal ethic and social ethic is been intense because the humanity
has not been with a foundational interest that all members will be agree to have social interest in
all members. Meanwhile, if this human evolution does not reach these goals, the social
necessities will crash with the men necessities existing. So this contradiction will be end when
the society will be really human, it is mean that they will take care of all members of that society.
The object that has the valor is generated from the intensity of been well. This means that the
valor in an individual could have different type of valor. A negative valor could be an intrinsic
negative or instrumental. In this topic we are trying to have a best result to know what ethical
relativism is. I am agreeing about the way that each country makes the valor and norms to be
accepted in a society. But to me not all the societies are right with the traditions and the style of
live that they have. In many cases they suffer just without the known that they are suffering
without a fine reason. We can see that even people die just because they have to do the
supposedly best moral right.
