Cardinal virtues

Gilgamesh and Enkidu were a great example of what loyalty in a friendship should be. Even though the story took a turn and showed a little bit of selfishness, the love of the friendship was still there. Gilgamesh was not in a good place before Enkidu came along. Gilgamesh was this miserable mean man with strength and size that overpowered many that needed to be stopped. Enkidu was a kind-hearted person with the same strength and size that Gilgamesh had, but Enkidu did not use his size and…

In every society there is a set of rules, whether it’s written laws or a social norm. These are set to either maintain safety and regulation or prevent societal damage. Whether we choose to follow these rules or not, they are enforced by someone who should regularly choose what is best for their country or community. When someone who doesn’t have best interests in mind is in charge, negative results will surface. In the film V for Vendetta, James Mcteigue portrays the impact of a corrupt…

“Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence” (“The Marriage of Heaven and Hell”). The duality or contrary aspects of life produce a balance within human nature. These aspects are not just contradictory, they are complementary. To fully understand the dual nature of mankind, William Blake utilized his poetry to compare the divergent forces that are part of all individuals. In his poetic collection the “Songs…

Courage Paper The way I look at the definition of courage is quite simple for me. Being courageous means doing something without a direct benefit to yourself, the act of doing something while knowingly putting yourself in some form of danger of some sort. This means, the higher the chances of danger and the higher the risks, the more courage it requires. This is especially true if there is no direct reward for the person being courageous. The value of courage lies not in the act itself, but…

Moral Analysis The moral permissibility of sex workers who want to provide economically for themselves and their family members is a very important ethical concept that can be analyzed through Kantian Ethics and Utilitarian Ethics. This part of the paper will also touch on the other ethical questions raised about the issue of sex work and sex trafficking. Firstly, Utilitarian Ethics states that if the relationship between a sex worker and a client is consensual, and safe then it is completely…

and self-belief In The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho highlights that in order to achieve greater heights, one must face challenges with fortitude and and have faith in oneself. “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.” (Maya Angelou) At this present time, everyone has larger than life aspirations, in consistency, it is the most stress-filled, worrisome and competitive period. In this ambush of fear and self-doubt,…

What does it mean to be loyal? Someone that is loyal gives and shows firm and constant support or allegiance to a person or institution. My parents show their loyalty by showing forgiveness. Throughout my life I have made many mistakes but my family continues to forgive and care for me even though I may have disobeyed them. On the other hand, being loyal can also impede you from others. Many friend groups in our school and others tend to only collaborate with the people their closest with and…

I think in the story, “Two Friends”, friendship was presented more realistically because of the events that happened in the story. I thought the story “Damon and Pythias” didn’t show a realistic approach to friendship because of how Damon didn’t hesitate and trusted his life to Pythias. Although it’s nice that they deeply care for each other, the part where they would die for each other was too exaggerated. In “Two Friends”, the way Morissot and Sauvage act around each other shows that they’re…
