Ethics 001

Today, we discussed the philosophy of life with different reflections. We have talked about virtues and vices. We have gone through evaluation systems, perceptions of reality and basic attitudes. In reality perceptions are substances that are images of God, of man, of society and of history. Examples of religions mentioned were Amish and Shinto. We even came in on more specific small questions like the dating of "minced meat". How would you react if the Manager at your job asked you notice about the "minced meat" with a false date? What would you do if you saw the Manager to do that? Yesterday, we went through the three classes and how they affect the individual's personal power, financial situation, health and longevity. Do humans have an instinct to help each other? What is a conscience? In Islam, it is considered that you are going to paradise if you give your life to save someone else. Wikipedia lists the seven virtues as follows: Humility - Humilitas (opposed to arrogance) Generosity - liberalitas (opposed to greed) Chastity - castitas (opposed to lust) Compassion - Humanitas (Contrary to Envy) Abstinence - Temperantia (unlike gluttony) Patience - patientia (opposed to anger) Diligence - Industrial (opposed to laziness)
