What does the play Macbeth say about good and evil? It is in human nature to want to do bad things‚ but when you start down a path how easy is it to be lead astray? Sometimes we can let things like pride and greed get in the way of our beliefs and values. Wrongful influence can lead people down some very dark roads and eventually destroy the lives of people they love and even themselves. In William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” these elements of good and evil surface and lead to some very curious circumstances

1. What do you think Aristotle would say about this situation? Aristotle says‚ “a virtue is a habit‚ but not a mindless one. You act virtuously with the intent to do the right thing” (pg. 55) Aristotle would say that Ted’s behavior is probably stemming from something he learnt from a role model or society. He also describes virtue as a habit‚ Ted is probably used to behaving in this manner‚ because it has become a habit for him. Aristotle also says that virtue is not a mindless one‚ so although Ted’s

probably just ended up googling it. What if I told you that the sky isn’t in fact blue? You would probably diagnose me as color blind‚ but that statement is true. You’re eyes are just perceiving the sky to be that certain color. You see‚ everything around you is being perceived for something it’s not. Perception is an insane topic. For example‚ if I asked you "what does it mean to be to be normal?" You wouldn’t be able to provide a definite answer because the phrase "normal" is something made up by society

These reading were very good and shows that being a Christian is more than just a title we wear above our heads‚ but rather a title as well as responsibility we are to be obedient to.

In a world of bad news and stressful events he tells us to not be afraid‚ that he will take care of us ultimately. He tells us he does not give like the world; we cannot “earn his gifts”
