Virtues of Ultima

What’s a hero to you? To me a hero is somebody who’s always there for other people through thick and thin and is willing to bend over backwards for somebody because they love and care about those people, and somebody who just puts other people in a good mood when they’re around cause they out off that chill vibe and you can rely on that person. Can you think of anyone you know in you or personal life that fits that definition? Well I can and that person that I just described as a hero is my best…

2.1 Life Is Good Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued. – Socrates (469 BC – 399 BC), the classical Greek philosopher. Life is good. It has been and it will be. Don't let anyone fool you it's not. Life, for and itself is good; and furthermore, you choose a good life. Choose to feel good not bad -- it’s a choice. When you feel good the world feels good with you. Life is beautiful. Don’t ever ignore the ‘feel good’ factor. Everyone is responsible for their share of joy. Feeling good…

‘The only thing compulsory is fun,’ I’d like to quote Professor Ping Koy Lam. This statement may sound dubious or lazy when claimed plainly, or perhaps a weak attempt at ‘the moral of a story’. However, to Professor Ping Koy Lam, this was exactly what led him to his accomplishments today. Professor Lam was born in Penang, Malaysia in 1967, and grew up inspired by men of science, His passion for science was deeply imprinted on him during his early youth by his brothers, father and a few…

We are defined by the decisions we make in life. How do we know if the choices we make are right or wrong? Loyalty syndrome is an ethical trap where you make decisions based on respect and/or loyalty to an individual, unit, or organization etc. rather than on military rules, regulations, and codes of conduct (Mod 6). I find that loyalty syndrome is important to me because I believe a leader should treat everyone fairly and equally not matter the relationship you have with your personnel. I am…

society, therefore it was virtue by itself. Aristotle however, believed that the aim of education was not only to attain knowledge but also to attain goodness or happiness in life. Aristotle admonishes that concern must be placed on both the ethical and the political. As human being we must question ourselves continually to find out what makes us grow.

action whether it is right or wrong. In the other hand, motivation represents as “the reasons underlying behavior.” (Guay et al. 2010. p. 712).

If one has the virtue of moral excellence and is constantly growing within him he will become effective and productive in his pursuits. The essence of the marks on his spiritual growth, only with such growth he can gain maximum production and excellence in his works.…

A myth is a traditional story that has collective importance. Collective importance is when the morals or lessons of the myth apply to more than one person. For example, a myth discussing the importance of integrity applies to, not just one person, but a collective group of people. There are three kinds of myths: divine, which deals with gods and goddesses as the main characters; legends, which have human heroes as the main characters; and folktales, which have ordinary people, or talking…

BUNGAY, Blessie Klarriz C. 2PHL1 What is the real object of happiness? The Augustinian notion of Eudaimonia Abstract As St. Augustine explained his notion on truth and wisdom, he argues that one can attain his/her desired happy life, stated that as one can attain it with the help of the notion of supreme good, wisdom, and truth, one has to attain the three before the latter, which is the happy life.

Ethics are an important aspect of any type of sport. They allow for fair competition and participation, for a just evaluation of the participants’ efforts and for a chance to win or lose according to merits, not falling or not falling for a deception or a clever trick. The concept of fair play shows this. Fair play is a complex idea that involves different ethics and values related to sports. It can be seen as the integration of all the ideas that represent a healthy attitude towards sports.…

At the outset, we recall that Hooker’s second assessment asserts that impartial benevolence serves as a direct guide to facilitate decisions about what we ought to do. Hooker states, I mean impartial benevolence as the direct and sole determiner of everyday practical decisions. By impartial benevolence, I mean an equal concern for the good of each. And by equal concern for the good of each, I mean treating a benefit or harm to any one individual as having the same moral importance as the…
