Consider Aristotle's list of "the virtues." Do you agree with his conceptualization? Would you add anything to this list? For example, he does not specifically discuss integrity, which many people have always believed is an additional, absolutely critical element of good character. To have integrity is to live one's life in agreement with one's philosophy. To be hypocritical is to lack integrity. Or what about kindness? Isn't kindness toward others another critical element of good character?
Construct an essay that discusses what you might add to this ancient list. (Instructors: Have your class share and discuss their conceptualizations of this Aristotelian concept of "the virtues" and of what other ideas your students might wish to add to it.)
