1. THE PROBLEM
|
(1) The ancient Greeks proclaimed
the almost supreme power and worth of the Human Being. Man was capable of and defined by the
following Virtues: Pride-Self
Worth, Honor, Integrity, Strength, and Knowledge. (2) The Greeks also made an honest
admission of the Human Being¹s shortcomings and had complete conviction of
the reality of consequences for one¹s actions. Greek history and culture is
full of examples of the following Vices: Arrogance, Greece, Jealousy, Impulsiveness, and Vanity.
(3)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: Does man in 2004-2005 still stand strong
with these same VIRTUES and still suffer and struggle with the same
VICES? |
