Moral Absolutes: Justice and Society

Belief Morality Relativism Truth

True

would be chaos. In a world without moral absolutes, there could be no basis for having ethical standards. Who would decide what is right or wrong? Law and morality would be at the sole discretion of those in power. Might would make right and the law of the jungle would prevail.

If right and wrong is based on individual beliefs, no crime can be punished if the criminal claims he's in the right. Anyone could steal or murder based on what they personally believe. Victims would have no recourse. Justice cannot exist under moral relativism.
