Question: Is there an objective good?

becals the defenition of rape, murder , and child abuse very from society to society, even from time period to time period within a single society and antropological reaserch has prety consistantly shown that the negative sycological efects of such treatment is determined by how much the treatment diferes from the perseeved social norm for such treatment in that particular time frame and society/social-group.

for example, in many cultures it is normal, even expected as part of proper child rearing , to mirsilesly beat a child to the point of serius welts and bruising when the child missbehaves, and children in those societys who reseve such beatings are no less well adjusted for it.
as wer if you administer a tenth of that level of fisical punishment to a child in white suberban american midlle class protitant culture, it would be emotionaly and socialy devistating to the long term develpment of the kid.
if you don't belive me then just listen to a black urban baptist comedian who grew up pore as dirt talk about "getin his ass beat by his moma " for a seemingly small infraction of "talkin back" to his granmother. and then braging to the kids at school about how bad he got beaten and about how much worse his welts and bruises wer than thers.
and those are simply the difreces in our own country.
try to imagine (it's easy if you try) how much more of a complete seperation ther is between us and a group of peaple who do not share the same religion, climate, family structure, social traditions, language , LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY, INFINT DEATH RATE, AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY.

look up the term, ethnocentrisity. (i probubly didn't spell that rite)

how much of a service do you do somone if you at a young age choose a body configuration for them that will render them incapuble of finding a mate within ther society who will be happy to have them as a wife or husband?

i'm mostly playing devils advocate here,i personaly find the very dea of these things aporent, but the stuff i'm saying is true non the less, and a valid argument non the less

*** I can say rape, murder, child abuse--those things are bad, evil. I don't understand where someone can say "that's none of my business to judge.." such things.***

I have the same problem with people who have a black/white good/evil perspective on the world - I actually kind of envy people who can see things in those simplistic terms.
