My ethical training in college was largely around that moral relativism is fucking terrible and will let anyone justify anything under the right conditions. It is one of my core beliefs that morality and ethics demand us to talk about what is right and wrong and where we root these views. Cards all out on the table, my foundation are the ethics of care (Look into Carol Gilligan) which emphasizes that what defines us is the relationships between each other as being the roots of where what right and wrong is comes from
