"Your Values Are Right For You But Not Me"

In today’s culture many believe that morality is subjective, depending on each person, better yet said, morality is relative. We find that this view point is not only illogical but can not be sustained by any human. It is impossible for us as humans to live with out the
belief or assumption that moral standards do exist. For example rape victims, abused children, or any other victims of torture intuitively know that an injustice has been done to them but, how if there is no objective ground for morality. For a person who claim that values are right for some people but, not others and that morality is relative would have no way to protest if injustice was been done to them. For example a relativist being arbitrarily imprisoned and beaten without cause would have no grounds to protest, because there would be no way to tell that it is an act of injustice against them if morality is just relative. Therefore in conclusion we see that moral relativism is not only illogical, but unsustainable.
