4. EXPERIENCE OF VIRTUE
There must have been moments in your life in which you either pushed yourself beyond your
limits, either did not do what you could have done or behaved virtuous. Think about the
example we discussed in class about courage. If the old woman would have jumped in the
water, she would have pushed herself beyond her limits. If the sports swimmer would not
have jumped in the water, he would not have done what he could have done. The young
man who is able to swim and therefore jumps into the water to rescue someone, behaves
virtuous, because he has a proper judgement about his abilities and does what he is able to.

- Explain whether you were virtuous, or pushed yourself beyond your limits, or did not
what you could have done.
5. FRONTPAGE
Design a front page of a newspaper you invented yourself. This frontpage will be the first
page in your folder. The following topics have to be on the frontpage:
- The name of the newspaper. The name of the newspaper has to be related to of the
subjects of chapter 3.
- Article with title about the golden rule. In the article you have to show you understood
the golden rule.
- A suitable picture or drawing with caption.
6. LOGBOOK
You have to fill in the logbook. Write down what you did and how much time you spent to do
it. In case you work in pairs there is also the need to check off you controlled each other’s
work.
Example:

Piet: searching two articles 20 min Jan
Together: searching the values and norms 10 min Together
Jan: write answers in folder 10 min Piet
7. NEATNESS
Do your best to work neatly. Neatness does not mean you have to calligraphy or decorate
your work. We assume you do your best to write readable and decorations are not required.
Neatness has to do with: the way you glued your pictures in your folder, whether the papers
