Tolerance - Discussion thread
Details:
Tolerance

 

"Most people would agree that tolerance is a virtue. Ethical relativism represents the ultimate in tolerance towards others. It would be self-righteous of me or anyone else to be intolerant of the views of others, on matter how much we may personally disagree with them. So ethical relativism is a reasonable and acceptable moral theory."

 

From what you have studied and learned from the assigned readings, would you agree with this argument about ethical relativism? Why or why not? Explain. Giving an example to clarify your ideas may be helpful.



Rationale:
Providing directions for responding to a discussion thread could greatly inspire students' thought process.
