In class and in the readings, we covered what the different kinds of relativism are and some of the various arguments for moral relativism. In this assignment you need to:
Choose one of the arguments for moral relativism
Explain that argument
Explain at least one of the problems the argument has
Say how serious you think the problem is and why you think that
Each of these should take you around a paragraph to answer. Each of them are worth 5pts. Since this is worth 20pts, this is worth 5% of your total grade.
Example:
This is a bare outline of a possible paper, there is no explanations or anything like that in it:
One of the arguments for moral relativity is the Cultural Differences Argument.
Explanation of the Cultural Differences Argument.
One of the problems for this argument is that it is not valid.
Examples of its invalidity
I think that this is not a damning objection.
The reason for this is that I am a poor scientist/philosopher and will hold my stance no matter what and for any reason.
In this version, I would be able to do the entire paper in 3 paragraphs. If you go that route, make it clear to me where the individual parts are.
