Phaedra Small Group Discussion Questions

1. Can something be morally or ethically “right” in one era but “wrong” in another?

2. Can something be morally or ethically “right” in one culture but “wrong” in another culture, even if the cultures exist at the same time?

3. If we answer yes to either or both of the above, are we saying that no fundamental, universal “right” or “wrong” really exists? That whether an act is “right” and “wrong” is determined by the individual culture and era, rather than some outside omniscient authority?

4. Finally, if no “right” or wrong” exists outside of the time or culture in which the act occurs, what of Judeo-Christian culture’s sense of God, who exists “outside of time”?
