It is often said that morality is relative to culture. This means that what is considered moral in one culture may not be considered moral in another, but there are some arguments in favor of the idea that morality is relative to culture. I'd like to hear from you what do you think, comment down below.
YES:
Let’s take the following example:
In Europe, in 1492, it was the moral thing to do to be covered head to toe. Yes, dress did sometimes accentuate some parts like cleavage in women. It was immoral to uncover body parts such as the buttocks or genitalia.
In the Americas, many tribes lived their entire lives in the nude. They went around their daily lives in the nude because the warm, humid environment year round made clothes unnecessary and and making them was a waste of time and resources.
When the Europeans encountered these tribes, they thought they were immoral because they were nude
NO:
absolutely not or you are as evil as Hitler. How can you say anything is wrong if morality is relative? You cannot complain about slavery, sexual exploitation, rape or killing if morality is relative. The Natzi’s thought it moral to kill the Jews but how can you say this evil behavior is wrong if morality is relative? You cannot so the only rational position is to believe in God who does define a universal standard which is written on our hearts. All cultures understand basic morality which God defines in the Christian Bible.
Jesus, who is God in the flesh, came and died so we could have eternal life for those who believe. If we confess our sins, live for God and turn from our wicked ways, then we are considered children of God. Believe in Jesus and you will see God in heaven once you die.
I want to hear from you comment your thoughts on this.
