1. Some people argue that torturing accused….. is unjust and unfair because they have not yet been convicted of a crime. Others argue that torture will prevent the deaths of hundreds of innocent people and should therefore be allowed. Which of the two is giving a consequential argument? Explain why you think this one is the consequential one. (I am not asking for your opinion of either argument.)

2. Sati was a funeral practice in India, in which a recently widowed woman would either voluntarily or by use of force and coercion throw herself on the dead husband’s burning funeral pyre. Although it is difficult to tell from surviving records, it appears that the majority approved of Sati, even by force, throughout the middle ages. Use this example to illustrate one of the major problems with cultural relativism.
