Integrative Social Contracts Theory Maintains That

Integrative social contracts theory maintains that

A) there is no such thing as "moral free space"-all ethical standards are determined by societal norms,and individuals have an implied social contract to live up to these standards.
B) few nations or cultures have common moral agreement on what is ethically right and wrong.
C) there should be no absolute limits put on what actions and behaviors fall inside the boundaries of what is ethically or morally right and which actions/behaviors fall outside.
D) "first-order" universal ethical norms always take precedence over "second-order" local ethical norms.
E) each country/culture/society has commonly held views about what constitutes ethically appropriate actions/behaviors;these common standards of what is ethical and what is not combine to form a "social contract" that all individuals in that country/culture/society are obligated to observe.
