You can avoid moral relativism without having a God - centric morality by observing the rules of nature. Also, you can ask yourself if each of your actions causes harm to others or the environment.

Answer:

Moral relativism may be any of several different ways of looking at "proper morality" in various cultures or ethnic groups. It exists in groups that have a god on many issues (death penalties, war, Birth Control, marriage, euthanasia, abortion) as there is no moral absolute standard correct for all situations. As a consequence, there is nothing but moral relativism for people who do not have a god in almost the same way that those of any religious sect have moral relativism. The only difference is that members of a theist sect believe that they (as a group) are correct and all others are, to varying degrees, wrong. As an example, a Christian would eat an onion while a Jain would find it morally repugnant - the Christian probably couldn't understand the Jain's reasoning.

Is morality hardwired into the brain?

There is much speculation when it comes to whether or not morality is hardwired into the brain. Theorists argue that without the brain, morality would not even be a concept to people. We all are mortal and subject to death or the necessity of dying. Having a brain or not has nothing to do with it. All plants and animals, bacteria, slugs and worms are not aware of their mortality but all will have to die.

What are the basic arguments Ethical Relativism?

Ethical Relativism states that there is no moral absolute or moral right and wrong. Ethics are simply based upon the bounds of societal norms and subject to change.These "Ethics" are based upon the compunction of the person or society which makes them up as they go along. All morals are considered relative to the situation.For instance;"I won't steal, (unless I really need something and/or won't get caught.) " or "I won't cheat on my spouse unless they cheat on me first."Ethical Relativism is closely related to situational ethics. Both of these forms of ethics are essentially the same as having no ethics at all. The only concern is the concern about getting caught by, or disdained by society. This is similar to a sociopath.The primary moral code, and conviction which Ethical Relativism proponents share, is tolerance of anything other than a moral code."Tolerance is the virtue of those without conviction."

How do people know what is the morally right thing to do?

A:You define morality by what you believe is right. It is true that ideas of morality have evolved over the centuries, but hopefully we are reaching a point when we can define morality, with or without religion. Two examples of former moral beliefs: Once, even religious people believed that owning slaves was moral, but now agree that slavery is not moral.Once, religious people believed that those whose religious beliefs differed from their own could be killed at will, or forcibly converted. Now, good people of all faiths accept the right of everyone to hold their different religious views.Thus, it is also possible to follow a religion without holding any strong moral principles, or to hold to a moral belief system without having any religious beliefs. What is important is to follow our conscience and do what we know is right.
