Briefly exposit the common argument for moral relativism in the video and the criticism of it.

To evaluate something is to make a value judgment (judge it as good or bad, right or wrong, correct or incorrect) is to assume a standard or principle or law. So, whenever anyone makes a value judgment, that means that they are committed to a standard or principle or law.
Moral principles or laws are principles or laws that determine whether an action is wrong, right, or permissible.
For a moral principle to be absolute, it must be binding necessarily at all times. For a moral principle to be universal, it must apply to all rational beings.
Do the following:
State whether or not you believe that there are absolute and universal moral principles, and provide a detailed, systematic argument for your position.

In addition, the authors measured liking of heavy metal; they included the sub-genres of classic (Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden), thrash metal (Slayer, Metallica), death/black metal (Obituary, Burzum) and gothic (Marilyn Manson).
