Personality and Character Ethics

behaviors, skills and techniques, quick fixes

• Character Ethic (pre WWI)– Integrity, humility, fidelity, temperance,

courage, justice, patience, industry, simplicity, modesty, the Golden Rule

– Not just “What do I want?” but “Why do I want it?”

people to experience a paradigm shift.• Not all paradigm shifts are instantaneous --

some happen gradually over time.
