A worldview common in the West (but held by very few philosophers) which people arive at after very little actual thought. Consists of the notion that there is no single objective truth, and that no one can say anything is true.
Ironically, no one who adheres to relativism can say that relativism is true.

Smart person: "How can you objectively claim that there are no objective claims?"

Relativism pretty much means What is true for me is true for me and what is true for you is true for you..

Everything is relative. This means that all belief systems are equally true, except for Christianity and anything remotely pro-western or pro-American.
Also, since relativism holds that there is no center of truth, it is a perfectly valid opinion to say that "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is a better movie than "Citizen Kane", because my opinion is just as valid as yours, even when I don't bother to back it up.
