Answer 1

• 1.Moral norms in fact very from Culture To culture
• Cultural Relativism is the view that moral or ethical systems, which vary from culture to culture, are all equally valid and no one system is really “better” than any other. This is based on the idea that there is no ultimate standard of good or evil, so every judgment about right and wrong is a product of society. Therefore, any opinion on morality or ethics is subject to the cultural perspective of each person. Ultimately, this means that no moral or ethical system can be considered the “best,” or “worst,” and no particular moral or ethical position can actually be considered “right” or “wrong.”
• 2.The person had no control over the situation is an excuse and not a reason.When we are making excuses, we are literally excusing ourselves from that situation.Identity Event (IE) is a type of excuse where the individual had no control over the outcome of an event.
