One thing that was different in the movie than it was in the book was the ages of Jonas‚ his friends‚ and Lily.

Being eighteen and given a job makes more sense than being twelve because you are older and you become an adult in our society. Also‚ I think that Lily is nine so the movie can portray the receiving of the

Aristotle highlights in Nicomachean Ethics‚ that moral virtue is “acquired by repetition of the corresponding acts‚” thus virtue is acquired‚ not innate (Cahn 134).

In Book 2 of Aristotle’s The Nicomachean Ethics‚ he outlines his definitions of moral virtues and how they are acquired. He reaches an implicit conclusion that performing virtuous actions is not sufficient for counting as virtuous by arguing that one must perform virtuous actions in the manner of truly virtuous people in order to become virtuous. This essay will thus analyse the structure of Aristotle’s argument on the relationship of virtuous actions to one’s virtuous character. In Aristotle’s

Dream. This story follows the life of Jay Gatsby who pretends to be someone he’s not to win back Daisy Buchanan‚ the girl of his dreams. Having the opportunity to read the book and watch the movie‚ there were several differences and similarities I observed.

Utilitarianism as an ethical theory Utilitarianism is the view that an act is right if it equals the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
