Essay type question
case scenario:
Caren and Mary are two college roommates with very different views on morality. Mary is a strict
adherent to traditional Judeo-Christian values and believes that certain behaviours and actions are
absolutely wrong. Caren, on the other hand, is a believer in subjective relativism and believes that
what is right or wrong is determined by each individuals own personal perspective. One day,
Caren and Mary have a disagreement over whether it is right to cheat on a test. Mary believes that
it is absolutely wrong because it is dishonest and violates the honour code. Caren, however,
believes that it is only wrong if the individual believes it to be wrong, and that the decision should
be based on their own personal values. Caren and Marys disagreement illustrates how subjective
relativism can lead to different conclusions when it comes to morality and ethical decisions. While
Mary believes that certain actions are absolutely wrong, Caren believes that the decision should
be based on the individuals own perspective and values.
What is the major difference between Mary's and Caren's views on morality? What are the
implications of subjective relativism on ethical decision-making?
