Ladies and gentlemen survey and report
People who are well-rounded are perceived differently by different people with respect to what they consider as balancing of the world around them. More considerations are given to the nature of the surrounding around people in terms of how they behave, what is expected of them and if they coincide with their age, success in life or anticipated wisdom at specific age. The level of socialization of a well-rounded individual is expected to be moderate in such a manner that one can converse with almost everyone, but not all.
Reflecting on the argument of Castiglione in The Courtier, there are several traits of an individual that are similar to what is perceived today as well-rounded characteristics. However, the similarity or difference evident is due to changes in the current situations and activities, age, gender, location and with respect to culture.
Characteristics of a Well-Rounded Person "I'uomo universal" According to Castiglione in The Courtier
A noble and dignified man should possess certain traits that are not only accepted by his society, but that which presents self-respect and righteousness. Some of these characteristics with reflection on the arguments in the book, The Courtier include:
1. An Courtier should be well brought-up and of a good strengthen- an individual should portray some respect from childhood to adulthood and to old age. The strength of such a person should not only be physical but mental with favorable maturity and respect for others, and self.
2. He should be generously proportioned and good-natured in expression not only to those who are older that him or her but even to the younger. It is the hope of every individual to expect deference from others, thus a noble individual should learn to show value to other, that they are respected too.
3. A courtier
