'''Moral relativism''' is the philosophy that moral standards should vary from society to society, and from time to time in history.  Under this theory, ethical principles are not universal and are merely social products.  This theory teaches that there is no objective moral order or absolute [[truth]]. This theory can be seen throughout history, including the genocide of the Jews, the enslavement of the African people by both European and American powers, the persecution (including torture and murder) of Christians during Roman times and in modern Communist establishments, as well as the torture, imprisonment, and murder of scientists during the Eighteenth century.
