Assignment:
\nRespond to one<\/u> of the following prompts in a three to five-page standard*
\nessay.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Option
\n1: The Elements of the Right Life in the Style of \u201cLetter to Menoeceus\u201d<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

In
\n\u201cLetter to Menoeceus\u201d, Epicurus offers practical wisdom to those who wish to
\nlive the good life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following
\nEpicurus\u2019 example, you will discuss your own specific ideas and prescriptions
\nfor living the good life. What do you believe are the keys to living the good
\nlife and finding happiness and why do you believe this? Please note: the ideas
\ncontained in your work must be your own, do not simply repeat Epicurus\u2019 ideas
\nfrom \u201cLetter to Menoeceus\u201d. Your work should include at least three but no more
\nthan five specific ideas for living the good life and should provide an
\nexplanation for not only the ideas themselves but how these ideas will result
\nin the good life. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Option
\n2: The Problem of Fear and other Troubling Beliefs<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

According to Epicurus, the
\npleasant (good) life is one in which the body is free from pain and the mind is
\nfree from disturbance. To achieve an untroubled mind, one must \u201cbanish those
\nbeliefs through which the greatest tumults take possession of the soul,\u201d with
\nthe fear of death being but one example. Reflecting on the degree to which you
\nlive the good life, and having examined your own beliefs and fears, discuss
\nthose beliefs or fears that cause you the greatest disturbance. What ideas,
\nbeliefs, or fears are the greatest sources of your own suffering and ultimately
\nprevent you from living your good life? Your discussion should also include the
\npracticalities of how you might \u201cbanish\u201d these troubling beliefs or overcome the
\nfears.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/h1>\n
\n

Option
\n3: The Qualities of Good Character<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n

Identify
\nthree character traits (virtues) you believe are essential for an individual to
\nhave good character and live well. Provide a specific definition for each
\ncharacter trait and explain why these specific character traits are essential. Do
\nnot use any<\/u> external sources for the definitions<\/i>; you must provide a
\ndefinition of your own<\/i> for each virtue. Having discussed three virtues
\nessential for good character and living well, discuss the extent to which you
\nembody these virtues. For example, if you state that the virtue of courage is
\nessential, you should discuss to what degree you embody the virtue of courage.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Option
\n4: Professional Case Study Analysis<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Begin by
\nindicating your intended area of study and desired vocation. For example, you
\nmight indicate that you are studying computer science with the goal of
\ndesigning online games or studying chemistry with the goal of working in the
\nbiotech industry. Be as specific as possible. Then, briefly describe a specific
\nethical issue or dilemma that you might expect to face in this profession. What
\nethical issues will you have to deal with that are specific to your vocation? Finally,
\ndiscuss how you would resolve this ethical dilemma or deal with this ethical
\nissue. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Option
\n5: Personal Ethical\/Moral Obligations<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Identify a
\nspecific ethical or moral obligation that you believe you have in each of the
\nfollowing areas: (1) obligation to oneself, (2) obligation to other persons
\n(individuals or groups; spouse, siblings, co-workers, friends, etc.), (3)
\nobligation to humanity. Explain what each of these obligations entails and why
\nyou believe you have these obligations.<\/p>\n
