Hunting Deer's Analysis

As Harry Gensler explains “Cultural Relativism”, he argues that good and bad is determined by society’s beliefs, that is, moral principles are settled by the cultures collective norms of what’s to be good and bad. This means that morality is a build group and therefore the moral codes you clench, are a reflection of the societies codes in which you live. Far, the morals held by your society are non-subjective facts, but preferably, varied from culture to culture. For example, if you believe hunting deer’s is wrong, what you really mean is that your society disapproves of hunting deer’s, or that the majority of the society disapproves with hunting deer’s. However if a different culture believes that hunting deer’s is right, both are factual

Gensler’s first opposition to cultural relativism is that “cultural relativism forces us to conform to society’s norms-or else we contradict ourselves” (Gensler, 1998). If good and any was socially accepted or was the same, then we would never contradict our society or question its worth. Inside cultural relativism, the minority view is automatically wrong, and good is determined by the majority viewpoint. Farther, if society says homicide is socially accepted, then that would mean homicide is good, since according to cultural relativism, what is socially accepted is good. For cultural relativism to be true, you must say and accept that crime is good, or simply reject cultural relativism. Gensler and so criticizes that cultural relativism is ignorant of the reality that everyone belongs to many overlapping subcultures, which frequently feature conflicting values and accepted norms. Cultural relativism fails to address these opposed norms between these societies and subcultures to which we lie in. If neither culture is fallacious, we cannot pick up from our mistakes and progress in order to “correct errors in our own norms” (Gensler, 1998). Gensler then claims that cultural relativism does not lay out with success against non-subjective truths for several
