Question:
Politician: When we examine the customs and values of different cultures around the world, we find broad agreement about the kinds of sexual activities that are morally acceptable and those that are not. For example, the vast majority of cultures disapprove of extramarital sex, and the percentage of cultures that have an incest taboo is even higher than that. Although there are of course some important differences between cultures, we agree more than we differ. Which of the following, if true, would weaken the politician's argument?
a) Opinions about polygamous relationships vary widely between cultures.
b) Incest taboos generally apply even when the people involved grow up separately.
c) Broad moral agreements are often the basis for making legislation and other social policy.
d) The behavior of many other animal species indicates that they have rules that govern sexual behavior.
