Moral Hazard Argument Against Geoengineering Geoengineering can be a risky option to counter climate change, not just because it is not verified on the results that could happen but the unpredictable changes that it could bring to the Earth and new problems that were never expected.

A Christian apologetic method is a verbal defense of the biblical worldview. A proof is giving a reason for why we believe. This paper will address the philosophical question of God’s existence from the moral argument. The presuppositional apologetic method of Reformed thinkers Cornelius Van Til and John Frame will be the framework.

Ruth Villagra The Cultural Differences Argument for Moral Relativism. Moral Relativism is generally used to describe the differences among various cultures that influence their morality and ethics.

should flee his execution and how Socrates thinks on his arguments. The Global argument on Crito has two parts. The first half assumes fleeing is morally wrong and draws out the consequences of Socrates fleeing if the moral experts saw it as such.

Crito pressed Socrates with a multitude of different arguments that he had hoped would convince him to flee his execution
Ethics in a sense is everything we hold dear to us, meaning our moral values. The development of figuring out what is important to us requires intellectual and critical evaluation. By not developing ones own moral values, you are simply taking the route of taking the moral beliefs given to you by your family or society. You’re accepting them because its easier than questioning them. However, this has its setbacks, by choosing not to do ethics you are essentially undermining your own personal freedom
Whilst I think that Jesus’ divine authority has a significance importance for Christians, I think that Jesus’ moral authority is more important because of its larger relevance to society.
