Discussion 1

Question

Pick a newspaper or magazine (online is fine) and find an article or passage that gives an example of descriptive relativism. If you don’t know what descriptive relativism is, go back and reread Chapter 1.

Post it here and say why it is an example of descriptive relativism. Then say whether you think the thing being described is morally right, morally wrong, or morally neutral, and why. Your response should demonstrate familiarity with the relevant chapter in our textbook and the Crash Course Philosophy video(s) assigned.  Write one or two paragraphs, not a research paper.
