You must either argue for relativism (that each culture is equally correct) or against it.

Still you may adhere to relativism (knowing the above). If so, why is relativism the best moral view to hold? What argument(s) would you make for being a relativist?

Egoism seems like a challenging or even counter-intuitive moral view? Can I be truly good by doing everything so that it is in MY best interest (without concern for others)?

Think about WHY you call some things right/good and other things wrong/bad - what is the basis of those judgments? What is it exactly (and ultimately) that makes things like theft, abuse, rape, etc., bad or wrong?

Are you more likely to consider a decision/action "right" (or if you prefer, "good") because of (a) prior moral principles that you believe are objective [as Kant would say] OR (b) because the outcome of that decision benefits people more [a more practical view like the utilitarians take]? Why?

there is a set of morals u go by found in the bible. 1 thing can not be right and rong like humanists say. ther is absolute truth aka right and rong.i would consider an act right or good if(c) its what jesus would do.

Regardless of what religion or philosophy a person subscribes to, they cannot escape the fact that any explanation they might have for the creation of the Earth, nature was created along with it by the same creator. And the Creator, whomever that might be, included a user's manual: The laws of nature.

Relativism assumes that man is capable of creating rules and laws for a number of cultures that are equally valid even though they have totally different systems of morality and belief. How can that be reconciled with the fact that the laws of nature apply to all of mankind equally without deviation?

"Right" is what is in step with, and preserves nature. "Wrong" is what destroys it. I don't mean that just in terms of environmental issues. Nature is the basis of our laws, beliefs and morals. When any culture violates those laws, there is always a price to pay. Relativism is is just another of mankind's rationalizations that somehow we make the rules when we don't.
