&gt;Cultural absolutism: us good, them evil.<p>&gt;Cultural relativism: under these social circumstances, those moral preferences are likely to emerge.<p>This strikes me as the fallacy of the excluded middle.<p>Many people believe one culture is better than another without necessarily believing one is entirely good&#x2F;without fault and the other is entirely bad.<p>The problem with cultural relativism as I understand it is that it denies me the right to make any judgement. I mean, you phrased as opposing &quot;they&#x27;re bad&quot; but in practice it opposes &quot;they&#x27;re worse&quot;
