A moral judgement that takes circumstances into consideration is Relativist, because it is related to the situation and not to any fixed rules. Others have added Religion and Culture to things that help us define what is good and what is bad. Therefore, it means that actions are never inherently right or wrong. Only by weighing up the whole situation can a judgement be made.
