    Ethics Finals Activit 1

    Uploaded by

    Mark Kenneth Ceballos
    This document summarizes Aristotle's concept of virtue ethics and the golden mean. It discusses how virtue lies between two extremes, such as courage between recklessness and cowardice. While the golden mean aims for balance, it does not always imply mediocrity. There can be situations where choosing an extreme is the virtuous choice. The golden mean is meant to help develop good character through practice rather than duty or consequences alone. Important decisions should not be made during times of negative emotion or limited information, as the consequences could be long-lasting and potentially negative. Patience is advised to wait for clearer thinking during better times.

    1. Do you agree that virtue always lies at the middle of two extremes? How does Aristotle’s of golden mean
    differ from mediocrity? Are there specific cases when individuals have to choose one extreme thing over the
    other because it is what is good at that moment? Justify your answer.

    Striking a balance in certain situations may be warranted. This can be a good exercise in heuristics. But using
    this as a standard of measure for determining the truth between two things can actually lead to a logical fallacy.
    This is known as Virtue Ethics. It places the emphasis on high character and not on duty or seeking good
    consequences. So, true courage would be a balance between too much courage, recklessness, and too little
    courage, cowardice. A person is courageous out of practice rather than duty or to produce some desired effect.
    The Golden Mean is a means of assisting a person in practicing good character as they strive to make it second
    nature.

    2. Choosing what is good is always in accordance with human reason. Write a reflection based on your
    understanding of the passage below.

    “Never cut a tree down in the winter time. Never make a decision in the low time, never make your most
    important decision when you are in your worst mood. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The sprig will
    come”

    -Robert H. Schuller

    They can change the course of a career, of a life, forever. The thing is, when you’re faced with making a
    decision, you often only have a limited amount of information and a limited field of experience to draw upon.
    But the consequences of your decision are huge. They could potentially be really good or really, really bad
    There’s no reference book where you can just look up the correct decision you need to make and discover what
    the best course of action is. There are hundreds of variables. Each variable must be weighed differently, and
    each one comes with a tangle of emotions and worries attached to it.
