    I agree with Moore's idea that "good" is undefinable, because what maybe be good to you, maybe bad to someone else. Although your taught what is believed to be bad or good, there's is no true definition.
    FQ: Moore argued that ____ as indefinable? [ "good"]
    DQ: What or who determines what is good or bad? Do you believe that "good" is universally understood

  5. I disagree with Kant, emotions can be used when dealing with morality; however, we should try to minimize them.

    FQ: Which philosopher believed that it was your molar duty whatever the consequences and whatever the circumstances were? ( Immanuel Kant)

    DQ: Do you think receiving pleasure and minimizing pain is the one of the biggest achievements for humans? And is it the only one we should strive for?
