| Aristotle thought of virtue as the | mean/midpoint between extremes |
| For Aristotle, virtue involved a ________choice | rational |
| An extreme in _______ involved having too much of something | excess |
| A ______involved not having enough of something | deficit |
| Courage | the was midpoint between extremes in terms of dealing with fear |
| Foolhardiness or Rashness | was the deficit in terms of fear |
| Cowardliness | was the excess in terms of fear |
| Dealing with anger in a rational way (not going overboard or being a doormat) is an example of | virtue with respect to anger |
| Being virtuous is not the result of one action | it involves a habit of behaving a certain way |
| It is virtuous to have a medium amount of lying | False |
| It is virtuous to never engage in adultery | True |
| A faithful relationship has the right amount of _______ | bonding |
| A couple that is not faithful to each other | has a deficit in bonding |
| A couple that is practically glued to each other and won't let each other out of their sights | has an excess in terms of bonding |
| Practical wisdom might involve overriding some rules in some cases | but this can involve risks because one does not see the entire value of the rule |
| In defense of rules one could say | if the original rule is created most rationally it would not need to be violated in making a wise choice |
| People with practical wisdom | have moral will (determination) and moral skill (the ability to see what the right thing is to do) |
| A weakness of virtue ethics | is that there are no rules but rather the idea that virtuous people make the right decisions |
| To learn to be virtuous | one should imitate moral heroes and develop the habit of behaving the way they would |
| Some would say that monetary incentives are not the strongest incentive for employees, but rather the incentive to | do the right thing |
