Political History of Georgia

The question that will forever haunt the thoughts of all humanity is what is the right thing to do? No one can absolutely answer that question, but many have been called into question it. The act, motive or intent, and consequence are things that all ethical theories look at constantly. Here we will look at this survival situation in the view of multiple theories and why they are correct.

One of the most famous Cultural Relativist Franz Boas would ask the question “Is this relative to me? What would be the right thing for me to do?” He speaks on how your decisions are relative to what you have been predisposed to. “Cultural relativism is the principle of regarding the beliefs, values, and practices of a culture from the viewpoint of that culture itself.” Socially this accepted by many in the twenty-first century. “Cultural Relativism has some good points.

I’m not putting a price on human life I’m simply saying cultures thrive off of strength. Physical strength is a quality not found in any other type of human besides men and women. Men and woman hold the best chances of surviving, but how do you determine what 50 get to make it? The answer to this question lies in their hands.
