Arieana Castellanos Relativism Essay 8/23/2011 P. 7 I really don?t have a strong position in the argument of relativism. I do believe it is self-contradictory and impracticable. I also think that ethics is objective rather than subjective but I believe that circumstances do make a difference; for example a bachelor with no obligations can read a book alone but a family man with responsibilities cannot. However, I find myself not agreeing with the author so much. When he says we should bring it to others? attention that they are wrong or when he says that cultures aren?t that different. Some cultures are drastically different though they may have some similar rules they hold very different beliefs and customs.

Chapter 3 Settling the Northern Colonies 1619-1700 The Protestant Reformation Produces Puritanism German friar Martin Luther denounced the authority of the priests and popes when he nailed his protests against Catholic doctrines to the door of Wittenberg's cathedral in 1517. He declared that the Bible alone was the source of God's words. He started the "Protestant Reformation." John Calvin of Geneva elaborated Martin Luther's ideas. He spelled out his basic doctrine in Latin in 1536, entitled Institutes of the Christian Religion. These ideas formed Calvinism.

Religion
The classical civilizations of China and India have many similar qualities as well as differences. With Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism in China and Hinduism in India, the affects on politics in both areas contrast immensely. Also, social systems become present in both regions, but differ in formality and severity such as the caste system in India. The dynastic cycle occurs in China consisting of a constant pattern of the rise and fall of a dynasty eventually forming a central government. Meanwhile, Indian dynasties do not unify the government as greatly with many kingdoms throughout the subcontinent. Religious variations, social classes, and various dynasties create distinct civilizations that influence modern day China and India.
