Conventionalism is Dead - Society does NOT determine what is moral.

quote:

---

The statement "Society/Culture decides what is moral" is untrue.

That should have been your opening statement.Now make your case for that statement since that is your position.You haven't made a coherent case so far. Many people think as Jar does, so pointing the thread at him is fruitless and makes you come off whiney.You said that Socrates proved your statement centuries ago. Show how he did that.If you want this to fly, put some substance in it. If you just wanted to vent, then we can close the proposal.

Title is better although I would drop the "Conventionalism is Dead" part.So your position is that Society does not determine what is moral.Forget the quotes at the top and make your case. Don't write like you're talking to jar.You say that the idea that society determines what is moral was destroyed centuries ago by Socrates. Show how.You're correct, you haven't done an adequate job with this argument. Your post is weak. You're arguing from the defensive position. Don't.You're starting a topic, make your general argument for your position. Show the evidence or whatever supports your position.You've been on this board long enough, start learning how to make a good presentation.Sorry for being direct, but I'm short on time. Let me know when you need another review.

Now that's an opening post I can promote. Thread copied to the Conventionalism is Dead - Society does NOT determine what is moral thread in the Social Issues and Creation/Evolution forum.This copy of the thread has been closed.Edited by AdminPD, : Typo
