Answer:Ethical relativism

Explanation:Ethical relativism is the theory that states that morality is only relative to the norms of one's culture , so it goes to say that what is defined as wrong or right is only dependent on the practices within that particular society. For this reason an action can be right or wrong depending on moral values and norms of that society whilst that same action or behavior may not be considered moral wrong in another society. This perspective suggests that morals are not universal.
