Document Summary

Cosmopolitanism, communitarianism, and pluralism (which one is more sound?) Views the human world as a single community with common rules, principles and mutual obligations. Moral universalism (some things are just right and some things are wrong) Views the world as a collection of distinct and separate communities with very little or no common morality and few to no obligations. Human societies are localized, rich and culture. Relativists and cultural biases shouldn t be taken. Too seriously, as there are some basic principles of humanity and the rights that people deserve knowing about each other as well as backgrounds and histories. Shifts the conversation setting to what really is important. Human world is a single community with common rules. Views the world as a collection of distinct and separate communities with minimalist shared moral standards. Agree with communitarianism agree on problems with cosmopolitanism.
