Moral relativism examined

Moral relativism claims that moral judgments are determined by culture, individual preference, or circumstance rather than by objective truth—but this view often conceals power, since the strongest cultures and the most powerful individuals can impose their preferences as universal. Holding someone accountable requires some ground beyond 'that's just how things are done here.'
