6. RIGHT AND
WRONG?????
“Many students don't think that there is a
standard of right and wrong. Rather, they
believe that this is up to the individual. This
means they do hold a standard of right and
wrong themselves, but they feel that each
person's standard of right and wrong differs from
the other.”

7. “It is hard to proclaim the
forgiveness of sins to
people who believe that,
since morality is relative,
they have no sins to
forgive.”
Gene Veith, Postmodern Times, p.16
