Give one act that is applicable to all of these: Relativism, Absolutism and Universalism

 

Moral absolutism is the act that is applicable to all of these: Relativism, Absolutism and Universalism .Moral absolutism is the belief there are universal ethical standards that apply to every situation. Where someone would hem and haw over when, why, and to whom they'd lie, a moral absolutist wouldn't care. Context wouldn't be a consideration. It would never be okay to lie, no matter what the context of that lie was.

You've probably heard of moral relativism, the view that moral judgments can be seen as true or false according to a historical, cultural, or social context. According to moral relativism, two people from different situations could disagree on whether an action is right or wrong, and they would both be right. What they consider right or wrong differ according to their contexts, and both should be accepted as valid.

Moral absolutism is the opposite. It argues that there are universal moral truths relevant across all contexts and all people. These truths can be grounded in sources like law, rationality, human nature, or religion.

"Moral absolutism is the belief there are universal ethical standards that apply to every question."

We might suppose that in the matter of taking life all peoples would agree on condemnation. On the contrary, in the matter of homicide, it may be held that one kills by custom his two children, or that a husband has a right of life and death over his wife or that it is the duty of the child to kill his parents before they are old. It may be the case that those are killed who steal fowl, or who cut their upper teeth first, or who are born on Wednesday. Among some peoples, a person suffers torment at having caused an accidental death, among others, it is a matter of no consequence. Suicide may also be a light matter, the recourse of anyone who has suffered some slight rebuff, an act that constantly occurs in a tribe. It may be the highest and noblest act a wise man can perform. The very tale of it, on the other hand, may be a matter for incredulous mirth, and the act itself, impossible to conceive as human possibility. Or it may be a crime punishable by law, or regarded as a sin against the gods.
