philoshopy

students will debate the competing moral theories of relativism and objectivism. In order to do this, of course, students must first demonstrate some basic knowledge of the competing theories. Therefore, before stating and defending their own position, students will first explain the pros and cons of each theory.

Directions:

1. Compare relativism and objectivism by stating and describing the most significant appeals and flaws of each theory

2. State and defend which theory you find more convincing (consider using real-world examples to help illustrate your position).

Please note: students must first create a thread in order to view the other threads in this forum. Only after you post your discussion will you be able to read and comment on your peers' posts.
