Today’s society generally places heavy importance on—and idealizes—education. In effect, being educated has gone from being an acquisition and gathering of applicable knowledge and experience to being a title—another entry and premise on a resume.

In response to my argument that morality that is case-by-case or situational can still be objective without universal or general rules, one can argue that a particularist way of thinking abandons objectivity since there are no universal or general rules associated with moral particularism. One can argue this idea because of the argument that Immanuel Kant makes when he states that if you obey the principle of universalizability which says that an act…
