However, their understandings of human nature are fundamentally different from, and to some extent, incompatible with each other. For Augustine, humans are sinful creatures, not by nature or creation, but by their choice of disobedience made from their defective free will, so salvation comes from God — loving God and faith in God. States should be based on…

Florida’s Supreme Court observed in United Teachers of Dade vs. Dade County School Board, 500 So.2d 508 (1986) that “it would be impractical to require that collective bargaining procedures … be identical in the public and the private sectors.

Stace summarizes the difference well when he states, “the absolutist makes a distinction between what actually is right and what is thought right. The relativist rejects this distinction and identifies what is moral with what is thought moral by certain human beings or groups of human beings” (97). Though we may both think we are right about our stance on abortion, only one of us…

Rachels argument is on the difference between active and passive euthanasia and if that is really a distinction that needs to be made.

economic status influenced party affiliation.” (McCormick 399) Finally, he briefly mentions the distinction between the economic classes. He proclaims, “How wide an economic margin separated the two politico-economic classes is a matter for conjecture -or further research - but it would seem reasonable to assume that there was an appreciable distinction in status.” (McCormick 401) This distinction between economic classes does not line up with American exceptionalism in the fact that the…
