Relativism is a theory claiming that each individual has his/her own truths. ... The following will discuss the strengths, weaknesses and my opinion on relativism.
Relativism in my opinion has few strengths. ... The teachings in each religion are considered true for each group of followers because relativism states that truth is an individual affair.
Another example supporting this theory is the ethical side of relativism because there really is no absolute truth in ethics. ...
Besides the moral and ethical relativism, I think that the weaknesses far outweigh the strengths of this theory. ... A person who believes in relativism could say that it sank in the Pacific Ocean instead. ...
Even though relativism might not seem like a valid theory, it still has some strengths. ... Ethical issues are also supported by the theory of relativism. ... But I am not convinced that relativism is a valid assumption because there are flaws even from Protagoras’ own words. Therefore, it is not a big surprise that most philosophers do not take relativism seriously.
