@Parkerclass107 I agree, by educating and enlightening more people you could learn more. The exchanging of ideas and experiences allows all of us to broaden our views/perspective. #i2e21

@LowShamya @Ragnaros2587 I would have to disagree. If the people in the cave were willing to venture out into the world and then make a decision to live in the cave that would be just sticking to their old ways. The fact that they refused to even listen to the other prisoner is close mindedness. #i2e21

@impickledrew @Colton97412886 It’s scary to think that we might currently be living in a state of ignorance. What if someone comes along to enlighten us and we react negatively? I would hope as a society we’ve evolved enough to be open minded. #i2e21

@school__mouse I had no idea there was so much meaning to my actions until after this course. Aristotle especially has inspired me to cultivate my soul and strive to be a better person. #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@JonathanDaity That is why it is so important to inspire the restless of reason. We don’t want to live in the cave. #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I found the Aristotle reading to be very challenging but love his view on excellence of character. I agree that we have 3 different aspects of our souls. #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@nahomema Ethics of care would be used as some way to control women or pressure them into acting a certain way. What you mentioned is definitely one positive aspect of being categorized as feminine but the cons outweigh the pros. I prioritize my relationships as well!! #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

It is really cool how old theories on morality still apply to modern society. Death being the second most feared thing in America just shows how much our priorities and way of life has changed since Aristotle’s time. #I2E21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I agree that categorizing ethics of care as feminine or female would play into the double standard that women face on a daily basis. It would be extremely harmful if men and women were held to different standards morally. #I2E21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I love the individuality aspect of excellence of character. It is extremely challenging to fairly equate experiences, you can never truly know how something will impact someone else. #I2E21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@miiiamor7 I think happiness has some moral value but shouldn’t be the highest priority. We all have to do things that we don’t like in order to be successful and thrive. Happiness is sort of a bonus. #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@KayliReynolds24 I think that would be terrible. As humans we strive for deeper connections and want genuine experiences. If everything was chosen for us and we had no say in the matter it would take away from our deeper connections and needed failures. #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@miiiamor7 Yes happiness is very subjective, people achieve happiness in so many different ways. These ways can be “good” or “bad” #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I love the concept of the fallible will. As humans we have a combination of natural instinct and reason. #I2E21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I was always confused on how free will applied in religion, specifically Catholicism. I was taught that we all had free will but we must obey certain rules, it now makes sense if we look at these rules as means to an end. #I2E21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I really like the utilitarian theory. I think that it’s a very fair way to make decisions #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@juliearonsky I feel that a majority of the time our emotions cloud our judgment instead of enhancing it. #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@school__mouse I think the greater good isn’t what the majority wants but what the majority needs #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

I found it interesting how the principle of consistency applies to almost everything in ethics #i2e21

[Ethics Student @student_ethics]

@Nleone2488 @jakedag13 I’d have to disagree, if the event wasn’t mandatory and solely based on volunteers there isn’t really an ethical issue. Of course there would have to be strict rules but if someone voluntarily gives up their individual rights it wouldn’t be immoral. #i2e21
