Section II: Critique:

Does Rachels evaluate cultural relativism correctly? Does he have good reasons for accepting or rejecting it? You focus in this section should be on the arguments in section 3 above.

For this section and the next, DO NOT SIMPLY LIST YOUR BELIEFS/OPINIONS. DO NOT CRITIQUE THE AUTHOR’S WRITING STYLE. If you think his arguments are good, then provide arguments and examples that show he is right. DO NOT SIMPLY REPEAT HIS ARGUMENTS!!!! If you think he is wrong, provide counterexamples and counterarguments that show his arguments are bad.

Section III: Your argument:

Do you think relativism is correct? Your answer to this question, which can be stated in one sentence, is the conclusion to your argument. But your conclusion also needs support (premises)! What are the reasons you accept or reject relativism? Explain thoroughly and consider weaknesses to your own argument.
