Relativism is the belief that the truth is not always the same but varies according to circumstances. Traditionalists may howl, but in today's world, cultural relativism rules absolutism. the belief in philosophy that nothing is absolutely true and that things can only be judged in comparison with one another. Any view that maintains that the truth or falsity of statements of a certain class depends on the person making the statement or upon his circumstances or society. Historically the most prevalent form of relativism has been See also ethical relativism
The view that truth is relative and not absolute It varies from people to people, time to time

Philosophical view that what is right or wrong and good or bad is not absolute but variable and relative, depending on the person, circumstances, or social situation. Rather than claiming that an action's rightness or wrongness can depend on the circumstances, or that people's beliefs about right and wrong are relative to their social conditioning, it claims (in one common form) that what is truly right depends solely on what the individual or the society thinks is right. Because what people think will vary with time and place, what is right will also vary. If, however, changing and even conflicting moral principles are equally valid, there is apparently no objective way of justifying any principle as valid for all people and all societies. This conclusion is rejected by consequentialists (see consequentialism) and deontologists (see deontological ethics) alike
A relativist position or argument is one according to which the truth is not always the same, but varies according to circumstances. Bonger advocated a relativist position. In his view, what is considered immoral depends on the social structure. absolutist
