How to Build Good Character - Aristotle’s Ethics | Highlights Ep.5

[@HistoryBuff1973]

I am convinced that these teachings are what kids should get, not the garbage pile of education in America's public schools now.

[@kwesiboateng2646]

True. train up a child the way he should go

[@brittanycrow7185]

So very true mental health is spiritual health and unfortunately our education system no longer wants to lead us from Platos cave freethinking is a threat to tyranny ♡

[@bryanutility9609]

And a version for simple minds & children. Not everyone can be a scholar.

[@TheGodlyGlowPodcast]

I concur!

[@juliaalexandria3352]

American public schools do teach this. It's funny you mention that because it's Republicans who cut programs that would fund "teachings" like this.

[@jesusmysavior2424]

Thank you Hillsdale, very few left in this land ❤️🇺🇸

Wonderful!!!

I like the way this speaks of non-positive thinking. Due to the popularity of positive thinking ('at all costs'), a lot of people come to anything convinced that if they don't think they can do a thing, they won't be able to do it-- which is a terrible attitude to labour under. Of course, if you don't think you can do a thing, sometimes you can, anyhow. (And, of course, you may think you can do a thing, and find that you cannot do it-- or not yet.) And, as stated in the video, you grow from that experience. Maybe its just my quirk, but I feel tremendously reassured by the idea that you are free to try without expectations of success, without dooming yourself to failure.

Courageous acts are done for the beautiful. - Avoid grossly foolish acts to maintain courage. - Building good character requires making good choices consistently. Making good choices aligns with human nature. - Committing vicious acts can lead to negative consequences and harm your nature. - Making good choices leads to a happier and fulfilling life. Aristotle's ethics emphasize balance and moderation. - The concept of a 'golden mean' is central to Aristotle's ethics, representing the idea of finding the right balance in behavior. - A key challenge is determining what constitutes the 'golden mean' in various actions and behaviors. Moderation is key to building good character - Training enough is essential to avoid exhaustion and keep up with life's demands - Seeking the right amount in all aspects of life leads to better choices and character development The importance of not underestimating personal growth - Personal growth becomes easier over time, especially in a school setting. - Choosing against personal growth consistently is detrimental to character development. Listening to the voice of good character strengthens it - This strengthening makes it overpower other influences - Character building involves specific actions to achieve this

Thank you for these timeless teachings.

[@npc73x]

This video is well made, Content, Camera angle, audio, background music, It's an inspiration

[@samdiamond3402]

Thank you for some valuable insights!

[@justtalking6242]

Character like compound interest, accumulates time-exponential under truth principles ("principal" in the financial scenario!), and while growth in character stays imperceptible over smaller periods of time, it is unmissable over longer durations, and perhaps most notably always assumes it maximum potential at the point of its withdrawal for whatever ulterior purpose it was accumulated.

[@freethinker79]

Such an excellent video! What version/translation of "Nicomachean Ethics" would you recommend the most?

[@richbattaglia5350]

The Goldilocks Argument is wisdom.

[@harryburke1457]

Character is what you do when nobody is looking.

[@grmalinda6251]

Taking the narrow way, do the most difficult first things first, things get easier...

[@woutervanwijhepianist3664]

I'm kind of developing a habit of watching these video's. Does that make me a good person? 🤔

[@daveelmer]

Every politician should be required to enroll at Hillsdale College and a yearly refresher course to maintain their position. Grade point average to determine their salary.

[@kwesiboateng2646]

what a beautiful place america will be?

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

Oh they already know exactly what's right and what's wrong. They delight in doing what's wrong.

[@cassiecaradoc2070]

This was not the guide on D&D 5e character creation I thought it would be...

[@shadeburst]

"What he has to say will be useful to comfortable men of weak passions... Not only is there no objection to slavery, or to the superiority of husbands and fathers over wives and children... Most men are mainly means for the production of a few rulers and sages... to a man of any depth of feeling it [Aristotle's Ethics] is likely to be repulsive." ~ Russell

[@ReneVasquez-hz3sp]

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😮 impressive

[@JohnBurton-b9e]

How do I sign up for the course?

[@ctakiute]

Greek and roman philosophy make man expect rewards. Pure, original christianity makes man do things because they have the gifts to do so, and the reward is not in this world.

[@bryanutility9609]

I like the Greeks most. Find the Bible so confusing & Semitic that I rely on Jordan Peterson to explain it. But tbh someone is always explaining these things to me 😂🙏

[@heritage433]

maschallah!

[@bliornd]

Why KZbin not recommending

[@SergiosFitness_]

This is something I wanna do, I am having a hard time to create new habits, my mental state is not as tough as others, in another words I'm weak, and being a man it kinda idk makes it worse because I'm a man, I believe it had to do with my past, I was touched as a kid, other I was bully so most of my teenage years I just stayed in,gen z issues lol and now seeing how the real world works it's even tougher, it's hard it's just hard being idk good, being humble, understanding, and self control, without God dk what to do, with God is like being train to becoming a better human overall, I know this sounds someone who doesn't know the way which is true, when I hear other people opinions about this, they tell me to keep moving, ignore it oh well, your alive, your here, and yet I cant seem to fit in but I will, today going to confession and will make me feel better

[@maciejkolosko4950]

With respect to running too much and character ... this guy never heard of Goggins

[@yungxexe]

you heard him listen to the voices

[@kays3599]

Girls like when guys faces go red. It’s cute. It means you like us and we feel flattered.

[@alexbondrila3423]

Before action there is thought. We are and become what we think. Also, what defines good and evil? How does one know that they choose is good or bad! There must be someone who has made the rules which we abide in. Unless there are rules to follow in a game, and the player has unlimited freedom, you can become lost quite quickly. This seems to be what has happened in the west! Unlimited freedom with no rules to follow = a lost civilisation.

[@hopecafeanew9623]

Did you, personally walk your child to the state.....or God at 8:00 o'clock Monday morning saying do what your teachers say is right.....when are you going to give that much time to God's creation first, maybe you should streering is adjustable
