My version of relativism is pluralistic and attributes functions to morality that in combination with human nature place limits on what could count as a true morality. Unlike many other relativists, I do not hold that people are subject to a morality because they all belong to a certain group.

What is true is that others around us teach us morality and moral language, so they inevitably influence us.

So I said never again would I wear my gold, I want people to know I have a heart of gold and not the gold around my neck.
