The values and beliefs of a particular culture or historical period are absolute and unchanging.

The values and beliefs of a particular culture or historical period are relative to that culture or period, and cannot be judged by the standards of another culture or period.

The values and beliefs of a particular culture or historical period are a combination of absolute and relative elements.

The values and beliefs of a particular culture or historical period are irrelevant to the study of history.
