Legitimacy – Fresh AiR -S02:E05:C03

What is Legitimacy In simplest terms this is a justification of validity, but how does that apply to politics?

On Morality: Subjective vs Objective – A Discussion – Fresh AiR – S02:E04

On Morality: Subjective vs Objective – A Discussion – Fresh AiR – S02:E04

Subjective? Objective? Something Else? It is common to hear many reduce morality to it either being subjective or objective, but how accurate is that? Are people defining these terms properly?
