What are TWO virtues that you believe are important to living a flourishing or successful life in either Aristotle’s sense? Explain what goods in human life these virtues enable their possessor to fulfill. Provide examples of characteristic behavior that manifests these virtues, and contrast that with behavior that displays a lack of virtue. Do your examples confirm Aristotle’s view that a virtue is a mean between extremes of excess and defect? If so, explain what those extremes are; if not, explain why. Refer to this week’s readings and media to illustrate and support your claims. As usual, don’t forget the required number of responses for other students, and to respond (sometimes) to those who respond to you! ALSO, please remember to create your own thread! ONE main post; three responses, somehow, for other students — that’s the program! *******References that must be used.***********
