Question

Midland County has become a major thoroughfare for distributors of crystal methamphetamine. Sheriff Johnson has put together a profile of meth dealers and distributors, specifically identifying their tendency to travel by motorcycle or older-model van, and noting they often sport tattoos and facial hair. He has instructed his deputies to be on the lookout for people matching this profile. A citizen who objects to the plan points out that the sheriff might dismiss it as an "inconvenience" to innocent people but that he would probably not agree that he himself and members of his family should be subjected to such suspicion and treatment. This citizen is making the _____________argument against the policy.

Answer 1

Answer:

Universality argument

Explanation:

The term universality is the school of thought that universal facts exist and can be progressively discovered or revealed, in contrast to relativism. In certain theologies, universalism is the quality attributed to an entity whose subsistence is constant throughout the universe, and whose being is autonomous of and unconstrained by the things happening and conditions that make up the universe, such as physical locality and entropy.

Logically, or in consideration of compelling arguments, a suggestion is said to have universality if it can be considered as being true in all possible contexts with no room for creating a contradiction.
