Simply put, relativism is the thought that all personal beliefs and truths are just an opinion that cannot be proven to be true or false. It is simply the thought that your beliefs are neither higher nor lower than mine, we are equal. Knowledge is determined by the specific qualities of the observer, including age, ethnicity, gender, and cultural conditioning. But is relativism a reliable source when looking at life as a whole. For example, according to relativist thinking, Jesus and Osama bin Laden are equal. I believe that relativism is not a reliable argument when talking about the problems of today's world. Now, in terms of introducing relativism into society, I believe a majority of people would automatically adopt the concept, while some would stick to their previous beliefs. Some might already believe and live by this concept while others might just adopt it because they don't like the idea of ​​conflict, so of course there are those who stick to their beliefs whatever let it happen. I feel like relativism appeals to some people because they just like the idea that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and can believe whatever they want. It is said that America is the land of the free and home of the brave, and that all people have the right to freedom of speech. But what if you “know” that what people believe is wrong and what you believe is right, who is to say which option is true and which is false? This is why relativism is one of the most debated topics today. One of the biggest objections to the belief in relativism is the idea that we are all equal as human beings and in our opinions. Once again, I declare that Jesus and Osama bin Laden are far from equal. We understand that Jesus was pure and holy, while ...... middle of paper ...... Confucius was right about the idea that without learning good manners, many ideas that were initially acts of kindness would be wasted on bad characters. It is important that we hold these truths so that we cannot make the mistake of turning our acts of kindness into waste. Works Cited Soccio, Douglas J. "Philosophy and the Search for Wisdom."
