After TurboAir opened a facility in a foreign country, it learned that child labor was acceptable in that nation and agreed to hire a group of 15-year-old children as full-time employees. Which philosophical approach to ethics is TurboAir using

These are the options for the question:

Cultural relativism Just distribution Kantian ethics Righteous moralist Sullivan principles

And this is the correct answer:

Cultural relativism

Explanation:

Cultural relativism is the idea that there are no objective, or absolute ethical and moral principles, and that instead, ethics and morality depend entirely on culture. Under this approach, we cannot judge other people's culture as immoral or unethical, because it is a relative matter.

Turbo Air is applying this cultural relative approach because it is doing something that would be seen as unethical by contemporary westerners: promoting and using child labor.

However, Turbo Air is doing so because in that specific nation, child labor is not only ethical, but legal, and because the ethics of child labor are under this approach, relative, not absolute, there is no objective wrong in hiring child labor.
