Final Answer :
Answers will vary. Cultural relativism contends that there are no universal ethical principles and that people should not impose their own ethical standards on others. Local standards guide ethical behavior. Cultural relativism encourages individuals to operate under the old adage of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Unfortunately, people who adhere strictly to cultural relativism may avoid difficult ethical dilemmas by denying their own accountability. Please see the section "Ethics, Character, and Personal Integrity" for more information.
