How often do you make an effort to practice your strengths and virtues? (A virtue is a trait you cultivate. Ex: patience, generosity kindness). Are these traits key to a happy life? Discuss.
As much as possible I make an effort practicing my strengths and virtues, but sometimes I just can't. For instance, when I am in a hurry trying to finish something like assignments, exercises, quizzes, etc. and then, there's someone that will intrude without good reason, I really hate it and it makes me feel like I'm gonna blow and lose my temper. I utter some bad words but I try to calm and still find it as a "joke" just to make my day happy ...:-D.
Yes, I believe these traits are the key to happy life. Having these traits practiced everyday will really make everyday like "you have everything and you have nothing". "You have everything" in the sense that you still find a way to make you're life better even in difficult times. "You have nothing" - you feel like you don't have to worry because everything has a solution.
For some, happiness relies on money. In some cases, hacking means money. Would you do hacking it if its outcome is a sure happiness of your family? What particular Aristotle theory contradicts this concept? Discuss.
No, I will not do hacking just to have a better life and happiness in my family. I will raise them with dignity and integrity. I think relying on money for happiness is not really happiness. According to Aristotle:
Happiness depends on acquiring a moral character, where one displays the virtues of courage, generosity, justice, friendship, and citizenship in one’s life. These virtues involve striking a balance or “mean” between an excess and a deficiency.
Hacking is morally wrong. It violates the ethical conduct of an IT professionals and other computer-related professions.
