In this essay I argue against Cultural Relativism by pointing out that while there are not universal moral values in the strict sense (meaning 100% agreement) there are widely held moral values that most people in most cultures believe in. This ought to be enough to establish that there is a world culture with some well-established cultural norms. Therefore by the Cultural Relativist's own reasoning individuals and subcultures are obligated to follow the world culture's moral standards and a moral judgement can be made by those who are outside of the subculture. I also argue against the claim that everyone's opinion is equal regarding ethical issues.
