They worry about being viewed as intolerant and judgmental and so shy away from potential alternatives to relativism. The author describes how introducing students to ethical pluralism can be a good method of remedying this situation, as ethical pluralism acknowledges that there can be multiple correct answers to ethical questions, rather than only one. Resting between the poles of relativism and objectivism, the author describes ethical pluralism in detail and why it might be the best alternative in this case.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record></records></xml>
