Moral relativism is the idea that moral principles have no objective standard, so states its dictionary definition. In its extreme, the view that there are no hard and fast rules on what is right and wrong, on which values are set and should be fought for. It is in contrast to absolutism, that there is one truth.
Currently relativism was being under attack in the British general election campaign. Under it, said Michael Howard, leader of the Conservative Party, traditional British values are "being trashed" as "the victims have become the agressors and the agressors have become the victims". It seems that Michael Howard is absolute not a relativism fan at all. How about British people?
