I think you should consider what life would be like for many segments of our society if we were not constantly reviewing what we consider immoral.

- eldritch_4ier 4y agoI certainly don't think we are always in accordance with our absolute human rights. In a relativistic basis for rights, there is not "reviewing what we consider immoral", because morality is just "what every we consider moral". Slavery is moral (at least in 1850s America) because the consensus was that it is ok. Under an absolute basis for rights, it's clear that slavery was wrong then, and wrong now, and will always be wrong (regardless of what the law or consensus says).
