In \u201cFlatulence and Philosophy: A Lot of Hot Air, or the Corruption of Youth?\u201d William Young proposes that the television comedy South Park offers us the same opportunity:<br \/> Through its different characters, and even in its apparently mindless vulgarity, South Park shows the need for engaging in dialogue, and thinking from others\u2019 perspectives, in order to pursue wisdom, examine life, and make it worth living (p. 5).<br \/> This activity aligns with module outcome 3.<br \/> Discussion Question<\/p>\n<p>Prepare for your discussion by studying the William Young and Sean McAleer articles and listening to one episode, compilation, or clip of The Office. Then respond to the following:<br \/> To what extent might you concur with William Young that vulgar comedies such as South Park, or even The Simpsons, encourage such a deep reflection on ethics and ultimately encourage virtuous behavior? Is this the type of reflection that Arendt and Socrates intended? Please explain.<br \/> To what extent is author Sean McAleer right when he proclaims, \u201cThe Office has much to teach us about Aristotle\u2019s ethics, for its major male characters illustrate the structure of a character virtue as a mean between extremes\u201d (162)?
