Hi could you help me to answer these following questions

1. What is the difference between empirical and a priori truth? Provide an example of each. Are ethical truths empirical or a priori? Why?

2. The following argument is valid. Is it also sound? Explain why or why not.

    A. It is right to cheat on psychology exams

      B. This is a psychology exam

       C. Thus, it is right to cheat on this exam

3. What is the difference between objective and subjective truths? Do ethical relativists believe there are any objective or subjective truths? Do moral nihilists think there are any objective or subjective truths?

4. One way of distinguishing cultural relativists from subjectivists is in the way the views answer a question about who moral truths apply to. Take, for example, the truth that it is wrong to drive while operating your smartphone. Who does that truth apply to according to cultural relativists? Who does it apply to if subjectivists are correct?

5. One appealing feature of subjectivist views of morality is that they give everyone an equal say about how morality works. How does subjectivism give everyone an equal say?

6. If subjectivist views of morality are correct, moral infallibility is not only possible, but it is true of everyone. What does it mean to be infallible about moral truths? Why is everyone infallible if subjectivists are correct? Why is it troubling to think that we are all infallible about morality?

7. Cultural relativists seemingly have to say that no group of people can make genuine moral progress over time. What is an example of genuine moral progress a group has made, and why will cultural relativists deny that that group made progress?

8. Subjectivist views of morality must tell us that there are contradictory moral truths so that the very same things can be both right and wrong or good and bad simultaneously. Why will subjectivists have to say that? Why is it troubling to say that there are moral contradictions?

9. Cultural relativists face a unique problem regarding contradictions that occurs when someone belongs to more than one culture at one and the same time. What is that problem? Why can cultural relativists not just leave it to the person who simultaneously belongs to multiple societies to decide which society’s rules to follow?

10.  All nihilists accept the idea that there are no moral features in this world. What does that claim mean, and what support is there for thinking that the claim is true? Why must it also be correct to say that there are no true moral judgments if there are no moral features in the world?

11 Error theorists must tell us that there is no moral knowledge. To give two examples, error theorists will say we cannot know that kindness is good or that cheating on ethics exams is wrong. Why can we not know those two things if error theorists are correct?

12. One problem relativist view must own up to is that, if correct, all sides in moral disagreements must be correct. Nihilists, on the other hand, must tell us that no sides in moral disagreements are correct. Why will relativists and nihilists say what they do about disagreements, and why is what both views say regarding disagreements troubling?

13. All moral skeptics accept the idea of moral equivalence. What is moral equivalence, why are skeptics committed to it, and why is equivalence false?

14. One line of argument in favor of divine command theories of morality says that gods are the best candidates for creating the truths of morality. Are divine command theories objectivist or skeptical approaches to morality? Why are gods’ good candidates for being the creators of moral truth?

15. The Euthyphro Dilemma presents two ways of relating moral truths to the commands of gods. What are those two options? How does one of those options challenge the idea that gods are perfectly rational?

16. One way to explain how gods and morality relate is to say that the objective truths are true independently of gods, but that those omniscient gods know what the truths are and then inform us. However plausible that explanation may be, its truth would limit the power of gods. In what way does that explanation limit what gods can do, and why is that limit a problem?

Discussion Board # 1: Review a Legislative Session 

Becoming familiar with the legislative process is an important skill for public health advocacy, prevention, and policy. Review the Senate Floor session for March 10th 2016:   http://calchannel.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=7&clip_id=3442 The session is 1 hour 46 minutes in length.

· ABX2-9 Tobacco use programs (Thurmond)

· ABX2-10 Local taxes: authorization: cigarettes and tobacco products (Bloom)

· ABX2-11 Cigarette and tobacco product licensing: fees and funding (Nazarian)

Each bill that was passed that day has the potential to impact improvements in public health. 

· Research two bills above that particularly interest you.

o Then, share two specific facts you learned about the two bills you researched (one fact each). 

· Next, share one piece of information you learned about the remaining FOUR bills (not the two from the bullet above) connected to the legislative process, advocacy, policy solutions, etc while reviewing the session. Try your best to link (describe) the information you learned to Chapter 1, 2, or 17.

Discussion Board # 2

Coalitions and Public Health

Public health issues are broad and complex and often too difficult to solve with the efforts of one organization. Forming a group of individuals and organizations into a coalition which address and attempt to solve these issues can be an effective strategy. Often, advocacy efforts and development of or changing policy or programs is the end result. Coalitions can:

· Advocate for community environment and policies that support heart health.

· Ensure that community heart disease and stroke prevention approaches and materials are culturally sensitive for targeted audiences (because the coalition members themselves represent the community).

· Propel a strategic and concerted resolution of the problem.

To answer the prompts below review this document: Kansas University Toolbox Ch. 5 Starting a Coalition 

· Describe what a coalition is and three common goals/elements that they focus upon.

· Describe the three most essential types of members that form a coalition.

· Using the internet, locate a coalition that focuses on the issue of tobacco use or nutrition. Tell your colleagues the: 1) name of the coalition and 2) the main goal/purpose 3) List three participating members of the coalition. Hint: Try your best not to duplicate a coalition that your colleagues posted
