As the population grows and civilizations rise and fall, it is difficult to argue that the

morals held by the people centuries ago may be considered to be obsolete now. This is because
not only does culture differ amongst civilizations. Culture differs within these cultures as well,
developing over time and creating a corresponding paradigm to shift in those nations' sense of
morality. So, how should we treat and separate moral relativism from cultural relativism? To
have a better understanding of the issue at hand, it should be recognized that the principle of
relativism that nothing is absolute and that variances exist, indicating that everything are relative.
Moral relativism then becomes an idea that challenges the absoluteness of moral precepts
or the primacy of a single arbitrarily given morality as the best and only morality accepted by
many nations. Cultural relativism, on the other hand, would present itself as an idea that, equally
to relativism, no single culture is exactly the same as another culture, and that the idea of a single
and trying to unite culture is bound to dissolve precisely because cultural variations are present
everywhere. Apart from the reality that not everyone listens to the same and precise moral
theories, whether in the past or now, the existence of different moral doctrines today confirms
the notion that morality is the result of a single culture. The essential idea is that every nation, or
maybe every community, is culturally distinct. It has previously been stated that culture gives
rise to morality, and the sheer existence of numerous diverse moralities simply suggests that all
of these moralities originated from a common cultural source.
Indeed, it would be foolish to believe that the moral of the Chinese are closely linked to
the moral principles of the Afghans, or that these two nations share the same moral belief
systems. To say there is cultural development implies that moral ideas are also constantly
evolving or changing. It is fair to state that every change in view, major or little, has an impact
on moral entities. That is, people may begin to think and behave in forms of their culture,
dismissing old behaviors or combining them with new ones. One outcome would be that these
people's moral ideas would begin to shift. For example, technical innovations have given rise to
hitherto unknown cultural ideals. It is a big help to us people who has different variaties of
culture.
In conclusion, To claim there is cultural development implies that moral ideals are also
evolving or changing. It is sufficient to declare that any change in cultural entities, major or little,
needs the use of modern forms of technology in their daily existence. These types of technology
have influenced our sense of right and wrong, opening the way for new moral norms that strive
to establish the delicate balance between doing what is right and doing what is just. More
exactly, internet use has established a new moral field in terms of the ethical norms that surround
the user's experience.
