morals. In this paper I will address the claims of James Rachels and Ruth Benedict, and their opposing views on cultural relativism. The authors have their own theories, against and for cultural relativism. Benedict illustrates that diversity is apparent even on the topics of morality where we would expect to agree. I believe Ruth Benedict’s claims of cultural relativism are stronger and more convincing than those of James Rachels. Rachels does not completely condone the theory of cultural…

He at last finishes by talking about different confirmations of the Afterlife and by articulating the contention of David Hume against miracles. As Rachels reported Hume who says “when anyone tells me that he…

Sherman notes that these “interactive” workers have high client contact and low product tangibility, meaning they provide face to face, nonphysical services. In other words, they provide mainly emotional rather than physical labor. Additionally, front of the house workers…

public. This trend was especially true with the introduction in the 1940s of the pesticide DDT, a chemical that killed massive populations of birds and wildlife and proved to be harmful to humans as well. Appalled by the rapid deterioration of nature, Rachel Caron, a marine biologist and conservationist, wrote the book Silent Spring, urging for a ban on DDT. The title of her book is an ominous evocation of a silent, lifeless future stripped of the beautiful music…

Rachel Carson in her article “The Obligation to Endure” argues the impact that pesticides/insecticides had upon the environment and the human health risks that were caused because of the harmful pesticides/insecticides. Carson made some interesting points which led me to think about how man is actually destroying the earth, with the help of science because of the harmful chemicals that are being used in pesticides. Society fails to realize that the pesticides being used are actually killing…
