Absolutism is the belief that there are certain things that are set by nature upon which all things are measured. For example, moral absolutism would show that child pornography is just naturally wrong (an absolute truth). Relativism, on the other hand, believes that humans create degrees of measurement. For example, moral relativism would support the idea that child pornography is immoral only because society accepts it as immoral.
