i think its Ethical Universalism
I agree.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and their meanings:
1. Relativism (Option A) implies that moral beliefs vary from person to person, and one person's beliefs cannot be considered more right or wrong than another person's. It is indeed the correct answer.
2. Ethical universalism (Option A) suggests that there are eternal, unchanging moral laws that apply to all individuals universally. This aligns with the statement in question.
3. Descriptive relativism (Option C) is a position that describes and observes the fact that moral beliefs differ among individuals and cultures. However, it does not claim the existence of eternal, unchanging moral laws that apply universally.
Now that we have examined the options, we can conclude that the correct answer to the second question is A. Ethical universalism.
