?Lawrence M. Hinman Lawrence M. Hinman University of San Diego What is courage? Courage is when we are brave or not afraid. Do you have courage? Thus we see Aristotle’s definition of the brave man: “The man, then, who faces and who fears the right things and from the right motive, in the right way and from the right time, and who feels confidence under the corresponding conditions, is brave.” Notice that this includes feeling as well as acting; although Aristotle doesn’t mention it, it also includes valuing. Have Courage in Everything! Increasing confidence: help people to become more competent and to recognize their own competence. Decreasing fear: distinguish between rational and irrational fears, teach people to continue on course in the face of fear—”fear the fear and do it anyway.” Visual-listening Task Vocabulary Richter scale里克特震级 Eurasian Landmass 欧亚大陆 smash捣碎；摔碎 Sichuan Plain 四川平原 Loma Prieta Earthquake Monterey Bay蒙特里湾 the San Andreas Fault圣?安德利亚断层 magnitude 量级 devastating 破坏性的, 全然的 aftershocks 余震 USGS United States Geological Survey 美国地质勘探局 seismologists 地震学家 epicenter 震中, 中心 * * Courage Book 3 Unit 7 Visual Listening Task Unit 7 Courage Pre-listening Activities Listening Task Real World Speaking Visual Listening Task Real World Listening Visual Listening Task Pre-listening Activities Listening Task Real World Speaking Visual Listening Task Real World Listening Unit 7 Courage Aristotle approaches his analysis of the virtue of courage in a way that is typical of his ethics: Courage is a strength necessary to face a particular kind of challenge in life.
