THIS THEORY IS CONCERNED WITH HOW WE MOVE TOWARDS OUR PURPOSE AND BECOME BETTER PEOPLE OVER TIME EUDEMONIA – ‘HAPPINESS’ OR ‘FLOURISHING’ – THIS IS HUMANS TELOS VIRTUOUS – HAVING/SHOWING HIGH MORAL STANDARDS RELATIVE – WHAT IS MORAL CHANGES BETWEEN PEOPLE AGENT CENTRED – THE PERSONAL SITUATION TOGETHER WITH PERSONAL DESIRES AND GOALS IS USED TO CREATE MORAL DECISIONS

ARETOLOGY ARETE - EXCELLENCE, STRENGTH, VIRTUE ARETAIC ETHICS - STRENGTH-CENTRED ETHICS EMPHASIZES VIRTUES (STRENGTHS) AND VICES (WEAKNESSES) OF CHARACTER NOT “WHAT SHOULD I DO?” (BOTH DEONTOLOGY AND TELEOLOGY) BUT “WHAT KIND OF PERSON SHOULD I BE?”

EXCESS AND DEFICIENCY WHAT IS GOOD/MORAL IS TO WALK THE MIDDLE PATH BETWEEN EXCESS AND DEFICIENCY. YOU ARE TO CREATE A POSTER AROUND EXAMPLES OF THESE – WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO DO SOMETHING IN EXCESS OR DEFICIENCY? EXAMPLES IN WESTERN CULTURE? RELIGION? CELEBRITIES? ETC.
