Everyone has their own subjective truth and there has been a recent but relentless push for acceptance of all subjective truths. How does society function as a whole when objectivity is diminished and we function solely on subjective interest? John Locke once wrote that "humans are communal creatures"; based on this foundation, there must have been some predominant agreement in the need to protect each individuals interest based on some objective knowledge of right and wrong. Otherwise, how would it have been possible to form society if each individual acted on their own subjective interest?
So will subjectivity in the form of globalization and different cultural acceptance (no matter how weird and sometimes lascivious) be the down fall of our democracy?
