Response to Relativism and Grasp of Plausibility Structures

Team Soc,

This block day, I want you to be able to articulate a basic and reasoned response to:

 - a relativist argument. You should be able to show the weaknesses of the relativists arguments.

 - a positivist plausibility structure. You should be able to articulate the positivist's plausibility structure and its fundamental weaknesses. [A plausibility structure is the structure of practices and beliefs which in any society determines whether a belief is plausible or not.]

As mentioned in class, preferably, this quiz will be oral.

If you have questions, seek me out.

I am excited for you to be able to understand and respond to this.
