On campus, after class, you see your friend Dave talking to two people who you don't recognize. Dave introduces you to J.L. Mackie (a moral nihilist and subjectivist), and Ruth Benedict, (a cultural relativist). After the introductions Dave says "I was just telling these guys that, in my opinion, the members of ISIS (Also known as ISIL - an extremist militant organization in Iraq and Syria) are not the same as the rest of us! These people do not have morals or a conscience. They don't know, or don't care, about right and wrong and seem to do whatever benefits them and their view of the world." In turn, J.L. Mackie and Ruth Benedictrespond to Daves' comments about ISIL and the concept of morality within all humans. Create two arguments, one for Mackie, and one for Benedict where they respond to Dave and be sure to add their ideas of universal morality, either for or against.
