Tugend – Wikipedia

Tugend

Das Wort Tugend (von mittelhochdeutsch tugent ‚Kraft, Macht, [gute] Eigenschaft, Fertigkeit, Vorzüglichkeit'; lateinisch virtus, altgriechisch ἀρετή aretḗ) ist abgeleitet von die ursprüngliche Grundbedeutung ist die Tauglichkeit (Tüchtigkeit, Vorzüglichkeit) einer Person. Allgemein versteht man unter Tugend eine hervorragende Eigenschaft oder vorbildliche Haltung. Im weitesten Sinne kann jede Fähigkeit zu einem Handeln, das als wertvoll betrachtet wird, als Tugend bezeichnet werden.

Tugend ist als Verbalabstraktum von taugen abgeleitet, einem Verb, dessen Grundbedeutung ‚geeignet, brauchbar sein, nützen‘ ist. Im Althochdeutschen ist um 1000 tugund (‚Tüchtigkeit‘, ‚Kraft‘, ‚Brauchbarkeit‘) bezeugt. Im Mittelhochdeutschen hat tugent, tugende zusätzlich die Bedeutungen ‚männliche Tüchtigkeit, Heldentat‘. Unter dem Einfluss theologischer und philosophischer Literatur, die aus dem Lateinischen ins Deutsche übersetzt wurde, trat im Mittelalter ein Bedeutungswandel ein:

 

Der Begriff erhielt eine spezifisch moralische Bedeutung und bezeichnete eine sittliche Vollkommenheit im christlichen Sinn als Gegensatz zu Laster und Sünde. Diese Begriffsverwendung bürgerte sich seit der Übersetzungstätigkeit Notkers des Deutschen (10./11. Jahrhundert) ein.

Bonnes mœurs — Wikipédia

Bonnes mœurs

Sur les autres projets Wikimedia : Les bonnes mœurs sont les habitudes, les usages conformes à la moralité, à la religion et à la culture d'un pays ou d'un peuple. Elles constituent un ensemble de normes, le plus souvent coutumières, en partie formulées dans les traités de civilité et dans les règles de droit civil et pénal.

Les bonnes mœurs sont les habitudes, les usages conformes à la moralité, à la religion et à la culture d'un pays ou d'un peuple. Elles constituent un ensemble de normes, le plus souvent coutumières, en partie formulées dans les traités de civilité et dans les règles de droit civil et pénal. Elles varient selon les peuples et les époques, et constituent l'un des objets d'étude de l'ethnologie et de la sociologie historique.

La notion de bonnes mœurs porte essentiellement sur la vie privée et sur son respect, elle est le contrepoint de celle d'ordre public.

Les bonnes mœurs renvoient de nos jours principalement aux sexualités : pornographie, inceste, polygamie, prostitution, proxénétisme, pudeur, etc.

Sommes-nous libres ou déterminés ?
Liberté, responsabilité et déterminisme(s)
Le déterminisme (en philosophie morale) consiste à dire que des lois extérieures déterminent l’individu, ses actes et ses pensées.

Il s’agit par exemple des lois de la nature (nos actes seraient déterminés biologiquement par notre ADN par exemple) et causalités (modèle « stimulus-réponse » entre autres).

Le destin ou la prédestination (« tout est écrit ») incarnent également une forme de déterminisme, généralement lié à des croyances métaphysiques (instances qui transcendent la physique).

If your looking for extra ways to earn money online as an artist, you might want to checkout this training http://bit.ly/389paEn ; I’ve been trying it out but I’ve heard that artists and people with other creative skills do the best so maybe it would work for you better than me

Decadence - Wikipedia

Decadence

The word decadence, which at first meant simply "decline" in an abstract sense, is now most often used to refer to a perceived decay in standards, morals, dignity, religious faith, honor, discipline, or skill at governing among the members of the elite of a very large social structure, such as an empire or nation state.

The word decadence, which at first meant simply "decline" in an abstract sense, is now most often used to refer to a perceived decay in standards, morals, dignity, religious faith, honor, discipline, or skill at governing among the members of the elite of a very large social structure, such as an empire or nation state. By extension, it may refer to a decline in art, literature, science, technology, and work ethics, or (very loosely) to self-indulgent behavior.

Usage of the term sometimes implies moral censure, or an acceptance of the idea, met with throughout the world since ancient times, that such declines are objectively observable and that they inevitably precede the destruction of the society in question; for this reason, modern historians use it with caution. The word originated in Medieval Latin (dēcadentia), appeared in 16th-century French, and entered English soon afterwards. It bore the neutral meaning of decay, decrease, or decline until the late 19th century, when the influence of new theories of social degeneration contributed to its modern meaning.

In literature, the Decadent movement—late nineteenth century fin de siècle writers who were associated with Symbolism or the Aesthetic movement—was first given its name by hostile critics. Later it was triumphantly adopted by some of the writers themselves. The Decadents praised artifice over nature and sophistication over simplicity, defying contemporary discourses of decline by embracing subjects and styles that their critics considered morbid and over-refined. Some of these writers were influenced by the tradition of the Gothic novel and by the poetry and fiction of Edgar Allan Poe.

Pathos, ethos et logos : la rhétorique d'Aristote | #Rhetorics #Moral #Ethics  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Nous essayons d’être persuasifs lorsque nous présentons des arguments, qu’ils soient oraux ou écrits. Le public doit comprendre notre point de vue, avant même d’accepter nos arguments. Voilà en quoi consiste la rhétorique, dans laquelle les autres adoptent notre point de vue. Et qui de mieux qu’Aristote pour expliquer la rhétorique ? Les études de l’élève de Platon se sont concentrées sur la rhétorique. Ainsi, la rhétorique d’Aristote se compose de trois catégories : le pathos, l’éthos et le logos.

Le pathos, l’ethos et le logos sont les trois piliers fondamentaux de la rhétorique d’Aristote. Ces trois catégories sont considérées aujourd’hui comme différentes façons de convaincre un auditoire sur un sujet, une croyance ou une conclusion en particulier. Chaque catégorie est différente des autres. Néanmoins, connaître les trois nous aidera à impliquer les publics que nous abordons.

It’s Time for Grown-Ups to Grow Up | #Character #Moral #ETHICS | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Kids do crazy things, but we expect more from grown-ups, don’t we? Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Folks scream obscenities at ballgames, bully people on social media, and treat others with total disrespect. If you think this behavior is rude, insensitive, and tasteless, you’re right. But why is it so prevalent? The truth is, some people behave this way for personal gain; some folks don’t know better; and others know they’ll get away with it — because they have in the past. Some grown-ups never grow up.

While some indiscretions were once considered outlandish, we’ve become desensitized to these actions. It’s troubling that some of this behavior could have been avoided, but too many of us didn’t speak up. Instead, we closed our eyes to the poor behavior and waited for others to make the first move. The consequence is that wrongs committed by enough people become the norm over time. We have no one to blame except ourselves.

As leaders, role models, and parents, we must utilize every opportunity to reinforce the values that we hold dear.

What Values Do You Cherish?
Are polite manners a thing of the past? Should people honor their word? Is it Pollyanna to expect people to do what’s right? I think not! But if we don’t promote good values, don’t be surprised when bad ones become the norm. “How do we improve the situation?” you ask.

First, we must modify our criterion of excellence. It’s not what you have but who you are that counts. Moral character matters!

Compromise: Redefining Winning | #WinWin #Character #Ethics #Moral #Adapting | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
If you define winning as getting the upper hand, backing your opponent into a corner, and winning at any expense, you’ve got it all wrong. You may win in the short term, but think about the relationship going forward. Do those actions build trust, teamwork, and respect? I think not. You’ve probably created enough animosity, distrust, and jealousy to last a lifetime. In other words, you may have won the battle, but lost the war. There’s a better way…winning doesn’t have to be at someone’s expense.

Compromise: A Win-Win Strategy

Some people need to win at all costs because their ego won’t accept anything less. They’d rather win personally than accomplish something meaningful. Compromise isn’t a synonym for surrender; it’s a winning battle plan.

Some people need to win at all costs because their ego won’t accept anything less. They’d rather win personally than accomplish something meaningful. Compromise isn’t a synonym for surrender; it’s a winning battle plan.

Wikipedia explains service learning as: "An educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service in order to provide a pragmatic, progressive learning experience while meeting societal needs."

That second definition is easier to comprehend, but it still feels more complicated than it needs to be. How about this: In service learning, students learn educational standards through tackling real-life problems in their community.

Envy - Wikipedia | #Character #Moral

Envy - Wikipedia

Aristotle (in Rhetoric) defined envy (φθόνος phthonos) "as the pain caused by the good fortune of others", while Kant defined it as "a reluctance to see our own well-being overshadowed by another's because the standard we use to see how well off we are is not the intrinsic worth of our own well-being but how it compares with that of others" (in Metaphysics of Morals).

However, psychologists have recently suggested that there may be two types of envy: malicious envy and benign envy—malicious envy being proposed as a sick force that ruins a person and his/her mind and causes the envious person to blindly want the "hero" to suffer; on the other hand, benign envy being proposed as a type of positive motivational force that causes the person to aspire to be as good as the "hero"-but only if benign envy is used in a right way.[4][5]

Eine Sitte ist eine durch moralische Werte, Regeln oder soziale Normen bedingte, in einer bestimmten Gruppe oder Gemeinschaft entstandene und für den Einzelnen verbindlich geltende Verhaltensnorm (vgl. Ferdinand Tönnies, Die Sitte, 1908). Meist beruht sie auf Tradition und Gewohnheit (= „Usus"). Eine Sitte ist jedoch mehr als Gewohnheit; denn es gibt auch als schlecht bewertete Gewohnheiten (manchmal Unsitte genannt).

Moral courage - Wikipedia | #ZivilCourage

Moral courage

Moral courage is the courage to take action for moral reasons despite the risk of adverse consequences. Courage is required to take action when one has doubts or fears about the consequences. Moral courage therefore involves deliberation or careful thought. Reflex action or dogmatic fanaticism do not involve moral courage because such impulsive actions are not based upon moral reasoning.

Dekadenz – Wikipedia

Dekadenz

Dekadenz (von lateinisch „fallen", „sinken", französisch „Niedergang", „Verfall", über mittellateinisch decadentia) ist ein ursprünglich geschichtsphilosophischer Begriff, mit dem Veränderungen in Gesellschaften und Kulturen als Verfall, Niedergang beziehungsweise Verkommenheit gedeutet und kritisiert wurden. Er wurde in der französischen Historiographie zuerst für den Niedergang Roms gezielt verwendet. Die Kritik am Dekadenten emanzipiert sich vom hergebrachten religiösen Moralisieren.

Er wurde in der französischen Historiographie zuerst für den Niedergang Roms gezielt verwendet. Die Kritik am Dekadenten emanzipiert sich vom hergebrachten religiösen Moralisieren.

In der Geschichtswissenschaft hat man inzwischen den Dekadenzbegriff zur Charakterisierung gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungsabschnitte fallen lassen.[1] Nur in der Dekadenzdichtung hat das Wort auch eine positive Bedeutung; im Sprachgebrauch überwiegt der abwertende Charakter.

Perfidy - Wikipedia

In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith (such as by raising a flag of truce) with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed (such as by coming out of cover to attack the enemy coming to take the "surrendering" prisoners into custody).

Perfidy constitutes a breach of the laws of war and so is a war crime, as it degrades the protections and mutual restraints developed in the interest of all parties, combatants, and civilians.

Cosmopolitanism - Wikipedia

Cosmopolitanism - Wikipedia

There is a tradition of cosmopolitanism, and if we had time we could study this tradition, which comes to us from, on the one hand, Greek thought with the Stoics, who have a concept of the 'citizen of the world'. You also have St.

Cosmopolitanism is the ideology that all human beings belong to a single community, based on a shared morality. A person who adheres to the idea of cosmopolitanism in any of its forms is called a cosmopolitan or cosmopolite.

A cosmopolitan community might be based on an inclusive morality, a shared economic relationship, or a political structure that encompasses different nations. In a cosmopolitan community individuals from different places (e.g. nation-states) form relationships of mutual respect. As an example, Kwame Anthony Appiah suggests the possibility of a cosmopolitan community in which individuals from varying locations (physical, economic, etc.) enter relationships of mutual respect despite their differing beliefs (religious, political, etc.).[1]

Various cities and locales, past or present, have been or are identified as "cosmopolitan"; that does not necessarily mean that all or most of their inhabitants consciously embrace the above philosophy. Rather, locales may be called "cosmopolitan" simply because people of various ethnic, cultural and/or religious background live in proximity and interact with each other.

In origin, cosmopolitanism suggests the establishment of a cosmo polis or ‘world state’ that would embrace all humanity. Cosmopolitanism has come to stand for peace and harmony among nations, founded upon understanding, tolerance and interdependence.

Art Lang's comment, January 5, 2018 4:17 AM
Quote from the passage: “I’m Sorry.” When did the phrase “I’m sorry” morph into “I’m sorry, but…”? If you are sincerely sorry and want to apologize, then do so, without reservation. It takes an individual of true integrity to admit when he or she has erred. If you’re not truly sorry, why not just skip the apology and avoid compounding the problem?

Opinions: I think this is the modern generation expression of "yes, I am wrong, I should'nt have done what I did, but (even so you should'nt have done this or said this)/(I did'nt mean it this way or I did'nt want it to happen in this way)...". I feel that this individual is just trying to convey the fact that even though she or he does feel apologetic about what he or she has done, she feels that despite this, her mistakes does not negate the other party's mistake or she/he might have wanted to justify the reasons why she had done the things she had done, to avoid misunderstandingsa about the rationale of her actions. I do not feel that it compounds the problen, in fact I think that it makes a problem simpler, by clearing a misunderstanding. The problem might have been complicated earlier due to the misunderstanding, but once the misunderstanding is cleared, the problem is thus simplified.


Quote from the passage: “Please” and “Thank you.” Today’s economic downturn has spawned more cutthroat behavior with less time for courtesies.
Truth be told, with the same speed at which technology has swept the world, manners have been swept under the proverbial rug. I’m left wondering, is this rudeness the result of today’s angst or a trend of indifference that has evolved over time?
While it doesn’t take much effort to say “please” and “thank you,” some people forgo these pleasantries because they simply don’t know better, while others apparently feel these words are beneath their “pay grade.” How much effort does it take to show some gratitude for a job well done? (It’s not as if you’re being asked to solve world hunger.) The truth is, if you’re too busy to say “please” and “thank you,” don’t be surprised if others are too busy to help you in the future.


Opinions: I think this does not necessarily apply everywhere even though everybody's lifepace has quickened and this could be due to the environment in which one is working at. Also I feel that other than just looking at the surface of these issues, we should look into it and understand why it actually happens.
Firstly, I feel that it depends on the environment and the upbringing of the people. In working environments, where no common spirit are cultivated or not having a feeling of closeness with one colleagues may make certain people feel shy or not be able to relate to the people around them.
For example, if a healthy and a close-knitted working environment is cultivated, where everyone is friendly and close to each other, they will offer help in times of trouble or when one is busy due to the common spirit they share amongst themselves. And thus with this feeling of closeness people will not be as shy, as if they were strangers, to say "please" or "thank you" and the may understand each other better.
Next, a person's upbringing may also impact greatly on how they interact with other people. Regardless of economic downturn, or the quickening of life pace, if a person is not properly taught of basic courtesies and its importance since young, they may not be able to use such words to show gratitude to the people around them instead they may use other ways to thank others or they may not know how to ask a person nicely to do something, and end up commanding them. And yet the other party does not get feel that she or he has been mistreated as the person is asking of a favour without courtesy or that their help for that person had been ignored without understanding that the other party, the one without proper upbringing, had used other ways to thank that person. Thus family upbringing and teachers will have to play a huge role in cultivating a person, to ensure that that individuals will always be courteous no matter what happens, so as to ensure that people of the future generation will be able to interact and understand each other well enough such that everybody will feel respected.

How Propaganda Uses Lies to Erode All Truth & Morality: The Origins of Totalitarianism 

How Propaganda Uses Lies to Erode All Truth & Morality: The Origins of Totalitarianism  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
At least when I was in grade school, we learned the very basics of how the Third Reich came to power in the early 1930s. Paramilitary gangs terrorizing the opposition, the incompetence and opportunism of German conservatives, the Reichstag Fire. And we learned about the critical importance of propaganda, the deliberate misinforming of the public in order to sway opinions en masse and achieve popular support (or at least the appearance of it).

 

While Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels purged Jewish and leftist artists and writers, he built a massive media infrastructure that played, writes PBS, “probably the most important role in creating an atmosphere in Germany that made it possible for the Nazis to commit terrible atrocities against Jews, homosexuals, and other minorities.”

Gust MEES's insight:
At least when I was in grade school, we learned the very basics of how the Third Reich came to power in the early 1930s. Paramilitary gangs terrorizing the opposition, the incompetence and opportunism of German conservatives, the Reichstag Fire. And we learned about the critical importance of propaganda, the deliberate misinforming of the public in order to sway opinions en masse and achieve popular support (or at least the appearance of it).

 

While Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels purged Jewish and leftist artists and writers, he built a massive media infrastructure that played, writes PBS, “probably the most important role in creating an atmosphere in Germany that made it possible for the Nazis to commit terrible atrocities against Jews, homosexuals, and other minorities.”

Jealousy - Wikipedia | #Moral #Character 

Jealousy - Wikipedia

Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, concern, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of status or something of great personal value, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust.

Jealousy is often reinforced as a series of particularly strong emotions and constructed as a universal human experience; it has been a theme of many artistic works. Psychologists have proposed several models of the processes underlying jealousy and have identified factors that result in jealousy. Sociologists have demonstrated that cultural beliefs and values play an important role in determining what triggers jealousy and what constitutes socially acceptable expressions of jealousy.

 

Biologists have identified factors that may unconsciously influence the expression of jealousy. Artists have explored the theme of jealousy in photographs, paintings, films, songs, plays, poems, and books. Theologians have offered religious views of jealousy based on the scriptures of their respective faiths.

Neues Fach "Vie et société": "Keine Revolution, aber notwendig" | Leben und Gesellschaft | #Luxembourg #EDUcation | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Veröffentlicht am Donnerstag, 7. Juli 2016 um 19:13
(mig) - Ab der Rentrée 2016/17 ersetzt das neue Fach "Leben und Gesellschaft" den jetzigen Religions- und Moralunterricht im Secondaire. Im Fondamental wird das Fach erst 2017/18 eingeführt. Der Gesetzentwurf wurde am Donnerstag im Parlament mit den Stimmen der Mehrheitsparteien (32) und 28 Nein-Stimmen verabschiedet.

"Vie et société" ist ein Pflichtfach, bei dem sowohl weltanschauliche, philosophische als auch religiöse Sichtweisen auf neutrale Art behandelt werden sollen. Im Zentrum stehen sechs Lernfelder rund um den Zusammenhalt in einer multikulturellen Gesellschaft. Aufgabe des Fachs ist es, einen Zugang zur Pluralität an Werten, Kulturen, Weltanschauungen und Religionen zu ermöglichen und die jungen Menschen zu einer konstruktiven und kritischen Auseinandersetzung anzuregen.

Atheism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | #Society #Moral #Tolerance #Virtue  | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of deities.[1][2][3][4] Less broadly, atheism is the rejection of belief that any deities exist.[5][6] In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.[1][2][7] Atheism is contrasted with theism,[8][9] which, in its most general form, is the belief that at least one deity exists.[9][10][11]

The term "atheism" originated from the Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)", used as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the gods worshiped by the larger society.[12] With the spread of freethought, skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves using the word "atheist" lived in the 18th century during the Age of Enlightenment.[13] The French Revolution, noted for its "unprecedented atheism," witnessed the first major political movement in history to advocate for the supremacy of human reason.[14]
