Distinguish between cultural relativism and ethical relativism

What will be an ideal response?


Cultural relativism is the thesis that different people in fact have different values. This leaves open the question as to which (if any) are correct. Ethical relativism is the thesis that what is right depends on the moral norms of a culture or a society and that therefore the same action can be right in one context and wrong in another.
