1. Why is it important to know something about culture? 

2. How does culture define a person’s moral behaviour?

[Your Answer]

1. Lots of problems can arise from misunderstandings, especially because we live in a

multicultural world. By learning and understanding different cultures, you understand why
people do things the way they do. When you identify with other people, you sympathize with
their situation.

2. Cultural reflects the moral and ethical beliefs and standards that speak to how people should
behave and interact with others. These normative beliefs, together with related cultural values
and rituals, impose a sense of order and control on aspects of life that might otherwise appear
chaotic or unpredictable.

[Your Answer]

1. Relativism is the doctrine that knowledge, truth, and morality exist in relation to culture,
society, or historical context, and are not absolute. It is important for us to know the advantages
and disadvantages of relativism for us to know the knowledge, truth, and morality exist in
relation to culture, society or historical context, and are not absolute.

1. What do you understand about this line stated by a moral relativist: “When in Rome, do as the
Romans do?” 
2. When can you say that a moral judgment is true or false?

[Your Answer]

1. When one goes to other palaces and culture that is different from what they are used to, one
should do the same as a sign of respect.

2. Sometimes moral judgments and decisions are simple, clear, and easy to make. But moral
issues can on occasion be very complex. As a result, many things can contribute to uncertainty in
moral judgment. We can lack full information. We can be uncertain about the consequences of
our actions. We might be confused over what rule applies or takes precedence in a particular
situation.
