relativism and human rights
Relativism refers to the belief that moral principles and values are influenced by cultural, historical, and individual perspectives. It suggests that there is no absolute or universal truth when it comes to these principles and values. On the other hand, human rights are a set of inherent rights and freedoms that are considered universal to all individuals, regardless of their nationality, culture, or background. While relativism acknowledges the diversity of moral perspectives, human rights advocate for the recognition and protection of fundamental rights for everyone.
