Answer 2

Let us look into the conflict of opinions between James Rachel and culture of Philippines in the following points :

• The idea of universal truth in ethics, they say, is a myth. The customs of different societies are all that exist.
• These customs cannot be said to be "correct" or "incorrect," for that implies we have an independent standard of right and wrong by which they may be judged.
• But there is no such independent standard; every standard is culture-bound.
• Cultural Relativism, challenges our ordinary belief in the objectivity and universality of moral truth.
• Different societies have different moral codes.
• There is no "universal truth" in ethics; that is, there are no moral truths that hold for all peoples at all times.
• The moral code of a society determines what is right within that society; that is, if the moral code of a society says that a certain action is right, then that action is right, at least within that society.
• It is mere arrogance for us to try to judge the conduct of other peoples. We should adopt an attitude of tolerance toward the practices of other cultures.
• To many thinkers, this observation "Different cultures have different moral codes" has seemed to be the key to understanding morality.
