The cultural relativist claims that what is morally required varies from culture to culture.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
True
The cultural relativist is like the ethical subjectivist in believing that morality is created and that there are no moral principles that apply to all people. However, unlike the ethical subjectivist, the cultural relativist believes that morality is a creation of cultures (rather than individuals). According to the cultural relativist, you are morally required to do what your society's moral standards claim that you should do. Morality is just a type of social custom.
