Objectivity, relativism, subjectivism

Students may discuss these issues in relation to specified ethical theories (without repeating material between questions) or in more general terms. They should be fluent in
their use of specialist language relevant to these approaches to ethics and be able to evaluate their relative strengths and weaknesses. Students may make reference to case studies to illustrate these approaches, but they should be evaluative rather than narrative. Students may consider the status of moral knowledge, morality as opinion or feeling based, whether there can be an ultimate moral truth or source of moral truth, cultural relativism, religious ethics as absolute or relative, ethical pluralism. There are many legitimate approaches to this topic, although students should take care
not to repeat large parts of material from other questions.
