Or that good and evil (bad) are specific beliefs created by the individual? Or that there is no universal good and evil?
Moral Relativism is a philosophy and word that represents the idea values such as good and evil are subjective. It is holds the belief that there is no objective morality. That there is no such thing as right and wrong, good or evil.
In Moral Relativism, ideas of good and evil are merely personal or social biased. For example, in New Guinea cannibalism was considered an excellent and moral practice. Then the Christian missionaries appeared and told them this is an abomination. Up to that point, it was moral. Now it was immoral.
Moral relativism can point to any case of what is considered good or evil and show how somewhere in the world it is the accepted right or wrong thing to do.
