Answer to Question 1

ANS:
Cultural relativism is the descriptive thesis that ethical beliefs vary from one place to another. Ethical relativism is the normative thesis that there are no universally valid moral principlesthat is, no moral principles that are applicable to everyone.



Answer to Question 2

ANS:
Examples from the textbook include:1.
Neurological discoveries which could indicate that people are not free to avoid making morally bad choices; this might undermine the idea that people are morally responsible for those choices.
2. Evidence that sexual orientation is determined or strongly influenced by genetics; this might give us reason to affirm the validity of same-sex romantic relationships.
