DQ1

Why should a person be moral? Is it always in a person’s best interest to behave morally? In addressing this question, you should discuss Plato’s story of the ring of Gyges.

DQ2

Ethical relativists claim that there are no objective moral values. In other words, nothing is really right or wrong – it is only a matter of what a society or even an individual thinks is right or wrong; or, in the case of emotivism, how a person feels about things. So, according to such views right and wrong are merely a matter of opinion or emotion. Do you agree or disagree with this view? Explain and defend your answers.
