• Subjective Standards of Morality

• The natural outcome of postmodern philosophies is that truth

and morality are considered subjective and open to individual
interpretation.
• When the standard of measure between good and bad
changes, this gives us license to change as well and opens the
gates to all kinds of abuse.
• Interestingly, many of those who insist on a subjective moral
standard Will be the first to demand for a fixed moral standard
when they themselves fall victim to a subjective morality’s
inevitable outcome.

Technological Communication
• Text-speak and technology use have affected many young people’s
to communicate. While email has deformalized much of the
communication process, students still need to ensure their writing
denotes respect and provides enough context for professors (or
future employers) to readily respond.

are often necessary but also shows them how to craft such
documents, saving them time and energy in the future.
