5.5 Journal Assignment. Character and Virtue
Getting Started
What is “character”? What is “virtue”? How do you define these attributes for yourself? For others? You have been not only exploring psychology and pertinent concepts throughout the program, but you have also been exploring your own personal and spiritual growth and development.
Character has several definitions, but one that is appropriate in this context is “attributes or features that make up and distinguish an individual” (
Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary).
Virtue has more to do (in general) with morality; to be virtuous is to have a particular moral excellence (
Miriam-Webster Online Dictionary).
These are meaningful and important concepts to consider not only for yourself as you foray into the environment of a life coach, but also for others with whom you will be working—both to help them understand their character and virtue and to determine whether they want to redefine those aspects of themselves (reshape themselves) to craft a life that supports their goals and ideals.
Some questionnaires or tests, such as the Values in Action (VIA) survey introduced in PSY-540, may include such concepts as character and virtue, so exploring these in more detail will enable you to be more informed and able to talk to your clients about how to think about and consider these concepts in their life pursuits.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
· Apply measurements to life coaching and positive psychology.
· Apply measurements to personal and spiritual development.
