Cultural relativism is the form of relativism that states that people rely on their own standards of right and wrong when making a decision. According to cultural relativism, moral and ethical standards are relative to the cultural, historical, and social context in which they are formed, and there are no universal moral or ethical standards that apply to all people at all times. This means that what is considered right or wrong can vary across different cultures and societies, and there is no objective or absolute standard for judging moral or ethical behavior.
