Explanation / Answer

According to James Rachel core of ethics is to have an open mind, give equal weightage to each one's ethical preference without being judgemental.

The case of way of dressing in different cultures can be considered for Moral Relativism. The preference of lesser clothes by the people of West should not be judged as bad by the people of East, and similarly, the preference to cover up whole body by the people of East should not considered as cultural backwardness by the people of West.

The practice of cruelty to animals for religious ceremonies, sacrifices human lifes for rituals, infanticides, genocides etc could not supported by Moral Relativism because causing pain to the meak animals is ethically wrong in every sense. Taking human life for any reason is ethically wrong which cannot be justified by any reason.
