    The way I interpret the four approaches to moral differences are as follows: Soft Universalism is where a person or people have certain morals they loosely base their actions/lifestyle on‚ but they don’t have any qualms with straying from them depending on the situation.

    Protagorean Relativism is generally considered self-refuting. It is noticeable that the measure doctrine: “man is the measure of all things‚ of what is that it is‚ and of what is not that is not” (Tht. 152a2-4) suggests that there are only relative truths for everyone but no objective truth; however‚ it insists that the above statement is an objective truth.
