This involves relativism because it suggests that the moral question of capital punishment varies depending on the societal context or conditions, such as the type of living arrangements (nomadic peoples in tents vs. societies with maximum-security prisons). Relativism is the idea that points of view have no absolute truth or validity, having only relative, subjective value according to differences in perception and consideration.
