Relativism and Morality

Relativism and Morality

The writing “Some Moral Minima” by Lenn Goodman argues about things that go simple wrong. I completely agree with the Lee Goodman argument. He has discussed several issues of our society that are genocide, terrorists, murders, rape, incest, and polygamies. It is not justice to kill someone innocent with no reason, to rape a person just for lust and sex, and snatch the rights of the people. Just for the wealth and power people behave like animal. The discussion is all about the right of humans and respect of humanity whether, it is a boy, girl, man, women or an old person. It should not be related to any profession all humans must have equal right. Goodman argues that we should judge things that are morally correct and right. I agree with Goodman that people must have equal rights and equality treatment no one has any authority to treat human cruelty. All people must have equal treatment and they should be given freedom to work and freedom to speak. People should not judge any other person, and judgement should not be the factor for others. Who are we and why should we judge any other person.

We make moral decision in everyday life. The decisions may be big, small, right and sometimes wrong. However, some are simply wrong. These are the areas that are highlighted by Good man and they are challenges in relativism and morality.

In accordance to Goodman (2010), “Genocide is uglier than murder because it targets individuals as members of a group.” There are some third world countries in which political inducement famine is method to control the population. This is related to the relativism.

Terrorism is one of the issues related to morality and relativism. According to Goodman terrorism is not justified and it explodes the values in their fights (Goodman, 2010). There are numerous examples in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is not justified to kill the innocent people just for the sake of angriness and make their work, and it becomes crueler when they think that they are pleasing their God.

After this, Goodman put his though in slavery and polygamy. Goodman said that using a person as a tool and thinking him as non living thing is slavery. There is a myth that slavery demolished years ago, but it is still in practice and people are bought and sold in different country. Polygamy is also a form of salary that is the important issue to highlight. There are many problems in our society related to the morality and relativism. It is in our routine life that people murder, robe, rape, and abuse small children. Our society is fighting with these problems almost daily. Rape and child abuse is the cruelest problem in our society we should address these problems and make solve. Goodman said that rape is the Power ...
