Key themes / definitions.

Philosophical ethics and how dose that relate to society.

Relativism – How your designs work for you.

Subjective Relativism- Subjective relativism is the view that an action is morally right if one approves of it. A person’s approval makes the action right. This doctrine (as well as cultural relativism) is in stark contrast to moral objectivism, the view that some moral principles are valid for everyone.

Subjective relativism, though, has some troubling implications. It implies that each person is morally infallible and that individuals can never have a genuine moral disagreement.

Definition Postmodernism - In art, postmodernism was specifically a reaction against modernism which had dominated art theory and practice since the beginning of the twentieth century. The term postmodernism is also widely used to describe challenges and changes to to established structures and belief systems that took place in Western society and culture from the 1960s onwards.
