Question
Mr. X lives in a faraway land where most everyone in his country believes that there is nothing wrong with putting your own interests above those of others. Mr. Y, however, lives in a country where people believe that you should put the interests of others above your own even if it is only occasionally. Mr. Y witnesses Mr. X acting in a selfish manner and criticizes his actions. The theory of cultural relativism would assert that Mr. Y has done nothing wrong. How would this theory attempt to demonstrate that Mr. X has acted morally? What theoretical problems might this approach face?
