The cardinal virtues serve as the four principle moral values in Catholicism, which are prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. These virtues ultimately call individuals to form habits that will incline one to do good and to avoid all evil. The first cardinal value is prudence, which allows individuals to correctly judge what is right and what is wrong in any given situation. The second cardinal value, justice, is connected to the idea of one’s rights and is explained as the constant determination to give everyone his or her rightful due. The cardinal virtue fortitude allows individuals to overcome their fears, and to remain steady in the face of obstacles while always remaining reasonable. The two protagonists, Steve Biko and Donald Woods fully demonstrate these virtues throughout the entirety of the film ‘Cry Freedom’. …show more content…
A primary example is when Donald goes to support and cheer on Steve while he speaks to the fellow civilians regarding service justice as it’s needed and wanting equality between all. By wisely encouraging Steve to act upon what is right within their community it shows that Donald rightly judged the situation at hand and did what he knew was morally right. Steve himself displayed this virtue of prudence by doing what Donald would encourage and speak to his community and raise awareness to address the issue rather than do what is wrong, and use violence and force to try and solve it. Thus portraying that Steve Biko was able to correctly judge what was the right thing to do to properly address the tough situation at hand, and what the wrong thing to do would have

The idea behind the book The Great Commission To Worship by David Wheeler and Vernon Whaley is the combining of worship and evangelism, “Thus evangelism and worship have a unique relationship. … many times in Scripture it appears that while God is always our object of worship, the concept of obtaining salvation (evangelism) appears to be the motivation” (11). As stated by the authors this book is the result of an argument between them as to which was more important, worship or evangelism.
In the second section, he outlines the principle, or cardinal virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Justice and Fortitude, which could also be termed wisdom, self-control, fairness, equity, and steadfastness. He uses the vivid illustration of an athlete, or mathematician who practices a virtue, making a shot in tennis, or solving problems till they become internalized, a part of the person who disciplined himself to perfect them.
Out of all of Our Franciscan Values which include, reverence the unique dignity of each person, encourage a trustful, prayerful community of learners, serve one another, society, and the Church, foster peace and justice, and respect creation. Although it took me a good portion of the semester, I believe that I fully recognize and understand the importance of these values as well as how they are put into play every single day here at USF. The core/human values that I have put into action this semester include serve one another, society, and the Church as well as reverence the unique dignity of each person. While seem to correlate to each other as both can be carried out by someone at any given time. Throughout my first semester here at USF, I believe that these two values are the easiest to be put into play within our lives and fall hand in hand with one another.
Temperance, for example, was by some confin’d to eating and drinking, while by others it was extended to mean the moderating every other pleasure, appetite, inclination or passion, bodily or mental, even to our avarice and ambition.” (BF, p67). This was the problem that Franklin came across in his studies on virtues. This problem also eventually lead him to create a list of what he deemed were the most important virtues that man should strive to improve upon in life to reach moral perfection. The list was much shorter and more specific than anything he read in his studies. The list goes as follows: Temperance (eat not to dullness. Drink not to elation), Silence (speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation), Order (let all your things have their places. Let each part or your business have its time), Resolution (resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve), Frugality (make no expense but to do good to others or yourself, waste nothing), Industry (lose no time, be always employed in something useful, cut off all unnecessary actions), Sincerity (use no hurtful deceit, think innocently and justly; and, if you speak; speak accordingly), Justice (wrong none, by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that your duty), Moderation (avoid extremes, forbear resenting injuries so much as you think the deserve), Cleanliness (tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes or habitation), Tranquility (be not
Servant leadership, as it applies to the modern world, is a concept that Robert Greenleaf defined in his influential 1970 essay, The Servant as Leader. Greenleaf’s essay explains that servant leadership is an amalgam of concrete leadership styles and “fragments of data” that came to him through “intuitive insight” (1970). Having worked at AT&T from 1926-1964, he accumulated a number of leadership qualities throughout his professional career. After retirement he began teaching at Harvard Business School, but became distressed by younger generations and their rebellious attitudes. After careful consideration, he decided institutions were doing a poor job of serving, so they were doing a poor job of leading. His
The day I went to a St. Louis Cardinal game is the most exciting athletic event I have ever been to.
Benevolence and righteousness are universally valued. For example, Christianity and Buddhism both value honesty, forgiveness, loving your neighbor, and making the right choices.
Throughout life, one must make difficult choices. People are often faced with decisions of the good (temptation and temporary and immediate pleasure) and the greater good (pain and sacrifice). The most important moral virtues are moderation, courage, and justice. Moderation keeps us from overindulging in limited goods, pleasure, and temptation. Courage is facing your fears, and justice (the laws) encourages people to behave virtuously and create relationships with others. Reaching happiness is highly dependent on living a balanced virtuous life.
Next, is the value of responsibility, being responsible for your duties and actions which is a huge part of staying on a morally correct path. People often count on others to be responsible
There are two different kinds of virtues in the Catholic Church. There are Cardinal Virtues and there are Theological Virtues. The Cardinal Virtues are prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice. The Theological Virtues are faith, hope, and love. These virtues show us how to live our lives in accord with what God wants us to do. Prudence shows us what we are supposed to do and how we are supposed to conduct ourselves
The web page, written by the British Library staff addresses the group of popular writers and artists of the 1920’s commonly referred to as “The Lost Generation”. The target audience of the article is teenagers to young adults as they use vocabulary that can easily be understood by the younger generations. Most of the information is gathered through the novels and other works of the members of the Lost Generation and is strongly credible as the article bases its factual interpretations based on primary sources. The article covers multiple members of the groups, addressing the topic while covering both literature and art aspects, the great war, its symbolism and the aftermath. The source is valuable as it offers a deeper understanding of Ernest Hemingway, his beliefs and the connection that he holds to the “Lost Generation”. No exact date is provided in the article but as it deals with a topic that came into light almost a century ago, the source is still considered to be accurate.
These two characters impart their beliefs on Ernestine, and on the audience, and prompt both to either join the fight or sit quietly to the side. Either mindset is common in many social justice movements;
This paper is about five important moral values. Personally, I believe that every child should have these moral values because these moral values were vital to me when I was growing up. Basically, I would pass these moral values on to my child, because they are so imperative to have. As the children go through elementary school, middle school, and high school, they will need these essential moral values.
