Physicalism
Idealism is the concept in which the metaphysical takes
precedence over the physical. Physicalism is the opposite as many physicallists
claim that the mind does not even exist as a concept of soul because it is not
a material thing and its existence cannot be proven. Dualism is the concept
that both soul and mind exist independently but are connected.

necessarily real, but rather a projection of the mind. This sometimes goes to
extreme with people like solipsists believing that the world and the people
around don’t even exist at all and that it is only their own representation of
the world, meaning the other persons don’t even exist in real time.
The correct answer for 7 should be a. Moral dilemma
Moral dilemmas occur when we are presented with to decide
what is good and what is wrong. The famous example is the trolley problem in which
a person would have to do something bad in order to have a good ultimate thing
happen, or they could do a good thing but in the long run it would be a bad
thing.
The correct answer for 8 should be a. Morality is relative
to the norms of one’s culture
Ethical relativists believe that morals and ethics are
social constructs that are made out of the cultural beliefs of a society. This
is why different cultures have different ethical standards and different
understanding of what is good and what is bad. This is why we may think that
someone’s culture might be bad while ours is good, but in reality they could
say the same thing for us.
