Moral objectivism is an ethical position that states that
the system of ethics should be the same for everyone and people cannot have a different
set of ethics applying to them just because they are different in some way, which could
include race, sex, religion, etc.
A system of ethics that
is not universal is bound to allow some people to justify the actions that they perform
and also assert that if others do the same it is
unethical.
This is a stand that a person may attempt to
take in the name of moral diversity. As an example it is ethical for a man to beat up
his wife is she refuses to sacrifice her career which pays her more than her husband is
earning because the husband wants to have a child; but the wife cannot demand that her
husband give up his job and look after their 3 year old
son.
The universal righteousness of moral objectivism is
something that has now been well understood and almost all universal policies and
agreements take this into account.
