"There are no right or wrong answers in ethics"

In your argument you state that in religion the belief of violence is wrong. This is because socially, you are told its wrong. Your society has drawn a line in which an ethical set of rules and regulations is wrong. Your ethics code is that violence is wrong. That is definitive. Without that code of conduct in your particular society you wouldn't"t know if killing someone like the kamikazes had done, was morally right or wrong. You go on to say that in general, there are no right or wrong in ethics because of cultural differences, however, one can argue that there is a right or wrong in ethics strictly because of cultural differences. Just as your examples describe, the kamikazes would be ethically wrong here, but ethically right there. You"re right, their society does hold a kamikaze fighter pilot has being a high honor, so socially, it is ethically right for them to do so. One point you had made in your argument reverting back to my original statement about laws is that there is no way to satisfy an entire society over a global scale. The argument previously presented had not taken every civilization into account in one particular instance, instead my argument had presented that each individual society has its own set of ethical codes, known as laws. You are absolutely right to say that it would not be fair to create a system of right or wrong based on one individual culture because other cultures are all unique in their right way, however, it would be right for each individual culture to create their own set of laws particularly relating to their own specific culture, these laws are also a code of ethical conduct, they draw the line as to what is right and what is wrong. Ethics do have rights and wrongs, however, they can only be right or wrong pertaining to specific individual cultures. For instance, what the United States consider, "wrong" is what other countries would consider ethically "right". A good example of this would be that of the Dolphin hunts in Denmark on the Faroe Islands. Each year, the islands hosts a dolphin hunt where they round up near extinct Calderon dolphins into shore where they have mostly young teens, proving they are now men, slaughter these helpless animals. They barbarically kill these mammals by slicing them with large hocks several times until they eventually die in their own blood. Their cry is similar to that of a newborn child and the sea is stained red with their blood. All this goes on while hundreds of spectators gather around and watch as if it"s a sport. They argue that this is ethically right because the Islands use the meat and blubber but most of the meat is wasted due to rotting on the beach or simply thrown back to sea after the festivities are over. Now, to the extremely civilized people that live in Denmark, these practices are simply tradition and they see nothing morally wrong with this, however, these practices have raised much controversy and uproar around the world simply because they are ethically wrong. This example proves that even though ethics really depend on the individual culture they are withheld in, there are right and wrong to morals.
