This week's topic is on virtue ethics!

Optional readings:

Questions to keep in mind:
Why do role models reasonate with us? How should we go about choosing role models?
Virtue ethics doesn't tell us what to do, but more how to get there. How should we cultivate virtue? In what ways does soceity make this hard?
