DCL: Cultural Relativism

IntroThis debate is for the Debate Champion's League. Many thanks to DK and Max for organizing this tournament, and thanks to our opposing team (Pugna Verborum) for this debate. We're looking forward to an excellent debate.Due to a recent experience of mine with receiving almost no votes on a high-quality debate, I have decided to make this a judge-only debate. Judges were selected based on their impartiality and on the fact that they were recently active in terms of voting. The judges are Hayd, Tej, Whiteflame, Lexus, Danielle, Max, DK, Raisor, Peep, and Lannan13. If Pro objects to anyone on this list, or wishes to add names, Pro should contact me before accepting the challenge, and we can discuss the issue. Judges, if they accept, agree to adjudicate this debate impartially and without outside assistance; judges are, of course, free to decline their nominations. The voting period is 2 weeks with a select winner system. Pro must accept this challenge by 11:59pm 8/26/2016, EST, or they forfeit the debate.Full TopicCultural relativism, as a description of morality, is likely correctDefinitionsDescription - a analysis designed to define something, or to provide an account of the character and nature of somethingMorality - principles of right conduct and/or systems of right conductLikely - having a noticeably higher than 50% probability of being trueCorrect - true or accurate: conforming to facts, truth, or logicCultural Relativism - a philosophical description of morality which asserts the following points: 1. Different human cultures have different moral codes2. There exist no universal precepts, truths, or beliefs, and/or no objective standards that unite all such codes or allow us to judge one against the other3. The moral code of our own society is not inherently better than any other; all codes share equal validity4. The moral code of any given society determines what is right and wrong within that society; if X is right according to a society's code, then it is indeed right and moral...at least within that society Rules1. No forfeits2. Citations should be provided in the text of the debate3. No new arguments in the final speeches4. Observe good sportsmanship and maintain a civil and decorous atmosphere5. No trolling6. No "kritiks" of the topic (challenging assumptions in the resolution)7. My opponent accepts all definitions and waives his/her right to add resolutional definitions8. For all undefined terms, individuals should use commonplace understandings that fit within the logical context of the resolution and this debate (unless otherwise specified in R1)9. The BOP is evenly shared10. Pro must provide arguments/their case in R1, and must waive in the final round11. Rebuttals of new points raised in an adversary's immediately preceding speech may be permissible at the judges' discretion even in the final round (debaters may debate their appropriateness)12. Violation of any of these rules, or of any of the R1 set-up, merits a lossStructureR1. Pro's Case/argumentsR2. Con's Case/arguments; Pro generic RebuttalR3.

We are looking forward to an excellent discussion on this issue.
