Should users be able to 'challenge' a claim that an answer is unhelpful? Sometimes, people might do that because they disagree morally, etc?

That happens a lot on questions that involve opinions. Personally, I wish that they would take out the unhelpful vote. You would either vote helpful or you wouldn't vote.

I agree with you guys. I think it's unfair to vote unhelpful to a subjective opinion type answer. As long as the person answers the question appropriately, it should not be voted as unhelpful.

I also don't really like the unhelpful/uninteresting voting options. To me, that seems like a way to make enemies so I tend to avoid those buttons. Only sometimes if an answer is very poor will it get the unhelpful vote.

I like having the "unhelpful" vote because that lets us bury insane and useless responses, forcing the better ones to the top for better visibility. So, I don't think that we should necessarily ditch that option, because it does have its uses. However, I don't think that voting "unhelpful" simply because you ("you" in general) disagree with someone's well-reasoned opinion is a good idea.

That's not really fair, because the person who responded DID provide an on-topic response to a question that called for his or her opinion. I've noticed that the community tends to get together and respond when someone's given an "unhelpful" rating on these opinion questions. We'll come around and give the answer "helpful" ratings that more than cancel out the "unhelpful" one.

I realize that this doesn't exactly strike that "unhelpful" from the record, but I do like seeing the community working together like this. So, should users be able to challenge an "unhelpful" vote? I don't think so.

I think that the community polices itself fairly well, at this point at least.

Therefore, we should not blame or interfere with the actions of people in other cultures when they are generally approved in those cultures. But can a cultural relativist consistently put forward such an argument? Western Supremacy: Western values should be imposed on other cultures, and members of Western culture should blame and interfere with the actions of people in other cultures whenever these actions violate Western values.

If the cultural relativists are right that Western Supremacy is a belief of Western culture, then what cultural relativism tells us as members of Western culture is that it is absolutely, objectively right for us to impose our ways on others and objectively right for us to blame and interfere with the actions of people in other cultures whenever our values condemn them. That means that cultural relativism supports not (3) but its contradictory. Further, what account can a cultural relativist consistently give of the ethical principle stated in (1)?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
