Ethical relativism
Description

Each essay must include at least two citations from the textbook and should be formatted according to the criteria outlined in the syllabus (double-spaced, 1” margins, 12-point Times New Roman font). You do not need to consult outside sources (in fact, I would discourage you from doing so).
