  1. Ethics Fundamentals What it all means

  2. Objectivism • The view that some moral principles are valid for everyone

  3. Cultural relativism • The view that an action is morally right if one’s culture approves it. • Moral rightness and wrongness are therefore relative to cultures • Example 1: Honor killing • Example 2: Female circumcision ( FGM)

  4. Subjective relativism • The view that an action is morally right if one approves it. • Moral rightness and wrongness are relative not to the culture but to individuals.

  5. Emotivism • The view that moral utterances are neither true nor false but are expressions of emotions or attitudes. • Implication: people cannot disagree over the moral facts because there are no moral facts- nothing is actually good or bad.
