  are not universal and objective.
• A Morel Relativist believes that they are
  subjective and are depend on personal conditions.

This has been a much debated topic over Human
history. Many have trued to discover the truth

Bernard Williams (1929 2003)

• Mr. Williams came to the conclusion, after much
  deliberation, that concepts such as Good Bad
  and Right Wrong do not strain from universal
  concepts. They depend on each culture and
  individual

Rudolph Carnap (1891 1970) and A. J. Ayer (1910
1989)

• These Positivists believe that a proposition must
  be logically justify to be valid.
• As a morel proposition can not be justified
  logically, they are meaningless

Karl Marx (1818 1883)

• Marx believe that it was obvious that morels are
  subjective. He believed that the morel code of a
  culture, is determined by the means in which the
  culture came to this point and what the
  socioeconomic ruling class believe. Therefore
  there is no universal morality.

Friedrich Nietzsche

• Nietzsche believed that morality was an error in
  essence. He believe that they are barriers that
  prevent ones true self. He believed that the only
  way to be true would be to do away with morality
  and live on ones instinct and natural needs. Thus
  he believed in an subjective morality.

Many cultures and individuals have disagreed with
subjective morality over the years more so than
those agreeing

Holocaust

• Many Morel Objectivist use historical events such
  as the Holocaust as a way of destroying
  relativism.
• A majority of humanity disagree with the act
  however from a Morel Relativist point of view
  this is just these peoples believe and thus has
  there own justification.

10
God

• The concept of a God or gods is one of the most
  vicious critics of Moral Relativism as the whole
  structure of the religion is based around a
  holy set of moral code. How can a God justify a
  heaven, hell a right or wrong when all may have
  there own beliefs and it doesnt matter. Where is
  the appeal in that kind of religion?

Evidence for Moral Relativism truth

• You and I
• We all have different morals. Although we may all
  have the same base structure, this is in many
  cases just a compromise for the continued
  existence of society.
• Morel Relativism is much more logical and
  sagacious than a universal morality

Morality is one of the most debated topic of
humanity however one can only make up there own
opinion

• (Is this not moral relativism?!)
