Where does morality come from? Who makes it? Who decides on what morality we follow? There are many answers to these questions but we are only interested in one, where does morality come from? One belief is about Cultural relativism, in accordance with the source of morality, is the ideology that each culture has its own source of morality and therefore each culture has its own particular morality. An example of cultural relativism is that one culture believes that murder is bad while another culture believes that murder is not bad. This applies to the case in a big way, the people in Thailand believe that the sex tourism business is a reputable enterprise, but other countries that supply the tourists believe that this type of thing is terrible. So they implied their morals on the Thailand people thus showing that each culture has its own morality. However, due to globalization in the modern world these boundaries are being broken down to just two moralities the "master" and the "slave.".
This theory of the "master" and the "slave" morality is an idea by Nietzsche. His theory is on the basis that one set of morals, "master," forces their ideals on another set of morals, "slave." A perfect example of this theory is globalization. In the world today the United States is starting to up hold its own morals upon the world, even though the rest of the world does not necessarily have the same moral beliefs. Applying this theory to the case is simple. One can find my reasoning in the fourth paragraph of the article, "the French penal law is applicable to all offenses committed by a French citizen "within or without" French territory." The French are applying their moral structure all over the world, even though this is only to their citizens this is still setting a president that their morals are "more important" than Thailand's.
The question that arises in Plato's Euthyphro is should people be immune from popular moral belief if they do something that is good and also bad, such as murdering a murderer.
