NOTE: I am just trying to wrap my head around these concepts so what I would like to know is of these 6 available options, which three, would be the simplest in terms of theory to explain? _______________________________________________________________________ Thevast majority of economists are classically trained, which means we tend to see the free and unencumbered functioning of the marketplace as yielding the best economic outcomes. Where policy is needed is when the market fails to produce socially acceptable results. A prime example of market failure has to do with pollution: unless polluters are forced to incorporate into their financial calculations the costs of the pollution they cause, they will overproduce and continue to destroy the environment. The following list describes situations where the government may want to step in: ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Monopoly power: Markets may fail to control the abuses of monopoly power.---------- 2. Missing markets: Markets may fail to form, resulting in a failure to meet a need or want, such as the need for public goods, such as defense, street lighting, and highways. ------3. Incomplete markets: Markets may fail to produce enough merit goods, such as education and healthcare.------- 4. De-merit goods: Markets may also fail to control the manufacture and sale of goods like cigarettes and alcohol, which have less merit than consumers perceive. --------5. Property rights: Markets work most effectively when consumers and producers are granted the right to own property, but in many cases property rights cannot easily be allocated to certain resources. Failure to assign property rights may limit the ability of markets to form.-------- 6. Information failure: Markets may not provide enough information because, during a market transaction, it may not be in the interests of one party to provide full information to the other party. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Pick three from this list and explain what types of policies might be proposed to offset the market’s failure. Explain why your proposals might work but also if the policies themselves might have negative side effects.

Brief and detail

If relativism is true, can you ever judge something as being morally wrong? Consider some really horrible actions,  genocide, murder, slavery, torture or add your own. If you feel a relativist could say that these things are actually wrong, what gives them this ability? If they can't, why not?

Agree or disagree

Similarly to what I said in the first discussion on what morality means to us, I think everyone has their own set of moral principles and obligations. So I do think that relativism is true, to a point however. I used Adolf Hitler and the Nazi empire as an example in the first discussion so I will use that here. Hitler knew in his brain that what he was doing was good for his nation and arguably the world. Now, as a modern day society we can agree that was wrong. For him, it was good. In his own mind, he is right. But it is relative to the person. Generally speaking we all have similar notions of what is right and what is wrong. Most people would say that going out of your way to help someone else is a morally good principle. Selflessness in society is seen a good thing by the vast majority of people. When I say that relativism is good to a point, I mean that there is a general basis in society that deems actions as good or bad. And since most of us would all agree that hitlers actions were bad, then we say that he had bad moral principles, even though to him, they were good. It’s a little confusing even for me to put into words. Basically, if you actions are generally viewed in society as good, then you have good moral principles even if they vary from person to person. No one will have the exact same moral standards, but generally they all are very similar in society. So relativism is true until the point where the majority of society would deem your actions and wrong. I hope this makes sense. 

Agree or disagree

If relativism is true, I don't think judging something as morally wrong is possible. Because the definition of ethical relativism is the moral standard only being correctly relative to each person/society, this means that the moral standard is created by you and/or the society you identify with and therefore eliminate the existence of an absolute moral principle. Since the moral standard is different for every individual, we cannot say that someone is morally wrong. If relativism is applied, that is. If a relativist were to say that they could judge someone as morally wrong, then that would contradict the main component of being a relativist. That every moral argument of yours is correct, therefore everyone else's is also correct. Quite problematic but that is my understanding on the matter
