When in Rome, do as Romans do Answers question of why so much diversity among cultures Rejects the existence of a universal and absolute standard No ethical system is better than any other – cultural relativism denies existence of absolute ethical measure Provides a standard for that culture to preserve a social order and prevent anarchy and chaos Social/cultural background creates the only reality we know Ex: grow up in Western culture; believe that Western ways of seeing the world are correct Each society has its own moral obligations common to that society; conformity to the group Urges intercultural tolerance	A society like in the U.S. can be enriched by multiple cultures and norms Causes us to question our own cultural biases Can’t assume technological advance is superior The Gospel is applicable to all cultures We can learn good things from other cultures	Conflicts with Christian worldview – if there are no absolutes, then God is relative to that culture, i.e. the culture is god Unable to know God’s moral will Scripture does not endorse that each culture has its own right & wrong Cultural differences may not mean that values of different societies are actually all that different There is good reason to doubt there actually is cultural disagreement on ethical principles The idea there “absolutely is no absolute truth” How do ethics change in a relativist worldview? Issues of tolerance for what one culture views as abhorrent practices	Is the behavior acceptable by the group? Are our own culture’s ways correct? Can they be defended? How should we express the Gospel in other cultures? Must ask why things are done a certain way in a culture What is the belief system vs. the value system?
