Bernard Chan · Answer 1

Ethical egoism is the theory wherein people has the moral obligation to do what they want in their own way, that one thinks of his own benefit and forget what others needs are. So the statement about 'Ethical egoism is the view that moral judgments are relative to what each society believes' is false. This is because his moral judgement is base on what the society believes not by himself and that what sets it apart from the true meaning of ethical egoism.

Merritt · Answer 2

If the sentence above is trying to ask whether it is true or false, the answer is false. It is ethical egoism does not view the moral judgment in terms of the beliefs of the society, but rather, it only does a judgment or an obligation because of their own self and not because of the society. That's why the answer is false.
