Have you ever visited a different country or spent time in a different subculture within this country? Did you notice that people from different cultures or subcultures have different preconceptions about morality and other values? What was that experience like? What did you notice about the differences in values or how values were interpreted? Write an essay in which you describe this

experience, and then interpret its significance in terms of the issue of relativism, both cultural and ethical. You should clarify the difference between cultural and ethical relativism and explore the senses in which cultural relativism is true. Are there any cross-cultural values that shape people's lives? Why, even if cultural relativism is true, is ethical relativism not necessarily true? What are the arguments for and against ethical relativism? Use the concepts in Chapter 8 as your starting point. What will be an ideal response?
