Analysis Of Foot's Indifference Argument

The pope remained silent and neutral to conform what he thought was right and acceptable in relation to his position, his society, and to his culture. The pope’s action fits on what conformity argument defined, for it accepts the validity of ethical relativism, in which fundamentally grounded on the basic sociality of human beings.
