Reply To: ethics

Hi BTguy and a gutt voche.

i have to be honest. you are part of the reason i worked this hard. knowing someone was cheering me on helped alot. i’m sending you a big heartfelt thank you right now (via the cr of course). the essay that was supposed to be 2 pages is just over 4 pages and i think very good. i hope my prof agrees. i did have to take many breaks in the process just to keep my brain cells from frying but i finally finished it and emailed it to him so i have Sunday free. you are correct, i do feel very proud and accomplished i taught myself something i thought i would never understand to the point i wrote my essay. (you should also shep nachas. your encouragement was a large reason i was able to finish)

the class is getting a little better now since i know i can actually understand it. the virtue theory was very interesting in the end. still trying to figure out if and where it fits into yiddishkeit. (i do this with all classes. when i took anatomy in HS i used it to understand why the bracha of asher yatzar was important, i used art to appreciate to beauty of H’s world, culinary arts to appreciate the food etc)

i’m taking this course as a prereq for another degree. i’m being vague on purpose, i do apologize. its a normative ethics class, with a focus on bioethics.

the next two weeks we are going to be focusing on Kantian ethics and theories. and i’m ready to see what else i can take from this portion.

and once again THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
