Abstract: Order # A 2060087: Morality and Culture The focus of this paper is to determine the relationship between morality and culture. In other words it deals with the question: Is morality relative to culture? Proponents of so called "cultural relativism", sometimes also called "moral relativism" or "ethical relativism" argue that different cultures obtain varying moral codes. If there is no transcendent moral or ethical standard, then often culture arguably seems to become the ethical norm for determining whether an action is right or wrong (see Anderson: 1). Culture and cultural dimensions are considered the collective horizon representing a specific social reality. American anthropologist and cultural relativist Ruth Benedict in Patterns of Culture (1934) said: "Morality differs in every society and is a convenient term for socially approved habits". The paper shows that "cultural relativism" - though it has some strong arguments - is a concept which is false because of its many shortcomings. It will show that the notion cannot be lived out consistently. The strongest discrepancy between the concept and reality is that there are universal moral standards that can exist even if some practices and beliefs vary from one culture to another.
