Well I don't have any hot teachers seeing most of mine are guys


But my ethics professor uses some strange examples. The other day he was asking if it was morally right to steal a kid, take his face off put it on and start beating the child. He's answer was that it was depending on your view on ethics (which technically is correct).

just out of curiousity, what point of view on ethics, makes that morally right? lol

also, for a teacher to use that as an example, is quite disturbing. he needs to see a shrink.

Subjective relativism. The view says that what is morally right depends on each person. As a society we don't adopt that view but it still exists.

And yea his examples can get very wired. I said the shrink thing the first week of class lol

But he made his point with the example. He was attempting to bring up an argument against subjective relativism. And I think he did that successfully. His other example was the bunny Olympics. Would it be morally right to hold the bunny Olympics in his back yard if the event consisted of holding a bunny under water and courting till the bubble stopped. Again very strange but gets the point across

I think the only people that would be morally right to, are psychopaths. In no one's RIGHT mind, would they think that would be ok to do.

First let me say that I by no means think that is right in any form. But what my professor was trying to show with that example was that subjective relativism is a horrible idea. He was formulating an example against by using so insanely radical that it had to prove it wasn't something that would be adopted.
