/sci/ - Science & Math

I go to a university. And for my upper division elective I choose an online class on "Applied Ethics."

Its basically a message board, where we are required to write and respond to essays on ethical problems. It just opened up, and out of curiosity I just got onto the message board to see what kind of things were up there. There were a number of assignments and the first one is due soon. So I checked it out. The question was

"What is good?"

Very open ended. Considering this is an easy online class where most of our grade is participation, I presume the question is so open ended that there is no wrong answer.

Then I noticed there was one reply already, from some go getter who wants to get his first assignment out of the way.

The answer was

"Can we define 'good' please? The reason I failed this class last time is because the instructor refused to give a definition and so I had no frame of reference or grounding for any concepts corresponding to any ontology whatsoever and thus every utterance of the term was literally vacuous. Contrary to popular belief, the term 'good' is not a base word with a culturally obvious significance, lest there wouldn't be any ethical debate within a culture.
OR
In brief: Help me... I'm confused."
