The discussion board question for this week is ethical relativism correct. To understand the question, you first must know what definition of ethical relativism. According to dictionary.com, "Ethical relativism is the belief that nothing is objectively right or wrong and that the definition of right or wrong depends on the prevailing view of a particular individual, culture, or historical period". An example of ethical relativism would be homosexuality. Many countries are against homosexuality and there are countries that support them. The United States of America are one of the many countries that continue to create strides for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Community (LGBT). Uganda is one of the many countries that are against homosexuality. They have an Anti-Homosexuality Act, which was signed in 2014 that will grant you with life in prison or the death penalty

The United States has begun to grant rights to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community in 2003 after the United States Supreme Court ruling in Lawrence v. Texas. Back in 1973 Texas had a law that homosexual contact was a criminal act. The police were sent to the home of Mr. Lawrence to responds to a call about weapons. When the police entered the home, they caught Mr. Lawrence and another man in a sexual act. This court ruling found that same sex sodomy is a violation of right to privacy. This day has become the foundation of many LGBT right to come. On June 26, 2015 same sex marriage was established in all fifty states.  

Uganda is one of the many countries in Africa that does not believe in Homosexuality rights. The country of Uganda has signed an Anti-Homosexuality act in 2014 with strict punishments if caught or accused of homosexual acts.  These countries ethical relativism toward homosexuality is totally different than what the United States of America has. Uganda ethical relativism towards this issue is that homosexuality is wrong and has no place in their country. Some of the penalties of getting caught is life in jail or the death penalty. Which is the main reason behind many of the people fleeing the country due to this act in Kenya where being a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Community is more acceptable.  

  

I believe ethical relativism is correct There are multiple countries with different ways of living. Some countries believe in polygamy and other countries believe that it is wrong. We may live on the same earth, but we do not live under the same rules. In Nigeria the age of sexual consent is eleven and in the state of Virginia the age of consent is eighteen. According to girlsnotbrides.org forty-four percent of the young women are married before eighteen and seventeen percent married before fifth-teen.  

It is very easy to understand why some of my classmates may choose the ethical relativism is incorrect. A person's culture plays a large part in ethical relativism, but there are many things that are wrong even though they are culture norms. Such as in the sexual consent age in Nigeria. In my eyes at the age of eleven I do not believe a child can give consent.

USING JAVA

  • A method that parses the valid word file to a list of Strings. You may use a loop in the parsing method.
  • A nonrecursive method that prints the input String, makes the first call to the recursive anagramizer method, sends the result to the filter method, and prints the filtered result. You may use this code:
  • private void anagramize(String inString) {
  •         System.out.println("input string: " + inString);
  •         List < String > l = filter(anagramizeRecursive(inString.toLowerCase()));
  •         System.out.println("Anagrams: " + l);
  • }

Re word this paragraph please

Apple is an OLIGOPOLY which is a state of limited competition, which a market is shared by a small number of producers or sellers.

Apple is also MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITION which is a situation exceeding in a market in which buyers and sellers are so numerous and well informed that all elements of monopoly are absent and the market price of a commodity is beyond the control of the individual buyers and sellers

  • Apple Inc. is considered an Oligopoly and Monopolistic Competition because of there being more competitors and also with the company maintaining its position in the market because its too costly or difficult for other rivals to enter, thus meaning there are entry barriers.
  • Large consumer base making it hard for other companies to get customers to switch products
  • People who buy Apple products usually continue to buy Apple products because of the trust in the product making it harder for other companies to garner attention
  • Cost is also an entry barrier by the large amount of money it would be to completely switch brands
  • Apple ties all its products together through applications like itunes and icloud making a greater incentive to buy more
