Question

question 10 (mandatory) (1 point)
critics of moral relativism point out that
a) moral relativism is actually emotive objectivism in a slightly modified form.
b) just because people in different cultures have different views about morality, their disagreement does not prove that no view can be objectively correct.
c) there are universal, objectively correct moral laws: those contained in the holy books of various religions.
d) peoples judgments about right and wrong can differ from culture to culture.

Explanation:

Moral relativism holds that moral truths are culturally dependent. A key criticism is that mere disagreement across cultures does not negate the possibility of objective moral truths. Option a is incorrect as moral relativism and emotive objectivism are distinct frameworks. Option c relies on religious texts, which is a specific, not general, critique tied to religious objectivism rather than a core philosophical criticism of relativism. Option d describes a premise often used to support moral relativism, not a criticism of it.

Answer:

b) just because people in different cultures have different views about morality, their disagreement does not prove that no view can be objectively correct.
