Absolutism believes in universal moral principles that apply to all situations, while relativism holds that ethical decisions depend on the context and cultural norms. Absolutism emphasizes objective truths, while relativism emphasizes subjective perspectives.
Labeling other groups as heathen or savage reflects cultural absolutism by asserting the superiority of one's own cultural values and norms while dismissing or devaluing those of others. This perspective ignores the complexity and validity of diverse cultural practices, framing them as inferior or primitive. Such judgments reinforce a binary view of civilization versus barbarism, stifling dialogue and understanding between different cultures. Ultimately, this mindset perpetuates ethnocentrism and hinders the appreciation of cultural diversity.

A rather narrow minded view that declares a particular society's culture to be of supreme ethical value. It advocates ethnocentric adherence to one's own cultural norms to be the ethically correct attitude for everyone.
