Hmm... relativism in my mind is the fact that all of your reactions, and all of the consequences imposed upon you by others, will be based up a previous experience that one of you have experienced. For instance, if I were to have something stolen from me, my assumption that it was wrong would be based upon the anger of my mom when I stole 20 dollars from her purse. However, it could also be based upon knowledge of the thiefs living conditons and excused in the manner that he's poor, or that he is one of my friends, who is not stealing but may have asked me for the object, my knowledge of this based on the experience of me hearing his question.
