Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relativism represents beliefs about the social acceptability of an act as it suggests that moral judgments and principles are relative to cultural, historical or situational contexts, and there is no universal moral truth or standard. Rationalism, contractualism, determinism, and utilitarianism are ethical theories that focus on rational justification, social contracts, causal determinants, and the promotion of greatest happiness or utility, respectively, but they do not directly address social acceptability as relative to diverse perspectives or standards.
