Application to absolutism (Naturalism)Naturalism supports absolutism because it claims moral statements describe ____ facts about the ____. If morality is based on ____ nature, ____, or reason, then moral rules apply ____, not just to ____ or cultures. For example, if harming humans goes against human ____, then it is wrong for ____, in all ____. This means right and wrong do not ____ with ____ or societies. Application to the term “good” (Intuitionism)Intuitionism applies directly to the term “____” by arguing that it is ____ and indefinable. According to G. E. Moore, “good” cannot be ____ to any ____ property such as ____, happiness, or usefulness. We understand what “good” means through ____, not ____. This explains why people can recognise ____ even when they cannot ____ it. Application to relativism (Emotivism)Emotivism supports relativism because moral statements ____ personal ____ rather than ____ facts. Since emotions ____ between ____ and cultures, moral ____ will also differ. For example, saying “euthanasia is wrong” expresses ____, while someone else may express approval. There is no factual ____, only a clash of ____, meaning morality is ____, not ____.
