Answer
D) Cultural relativism is a prescriptive ethical theory that sets forth moral norms.
It is not prescriptive , rather tells why diversity of cultures, even those with conflicting moral beliefs can not be considered in determining right and wrong
Explanation
This is simply the ability to understand a culture on its own terms and not to make judgments using the standards of one’s own culture whose main goal is to promote understanding of cultural practices that are not typically part of one’s own culture. Additionally, those who hold unto this believe that all cultures are worthy in their own right and are of equal value and thus not true to indicate that cultural relativism is a prescriptive ethical theory that sets forth moral norms.
