Watch the video about Ron Finley’s urban gardening project. In thinking about Nussbaum’s capabilities approach and MacIntyre's revolutionary Aristotelianism how is Finley’s project an exemplary form of virtue ethics? In answering this question, elaborate how his understanding of gardening as a community practice provides not only external goods, but more importantly how it empowers community members by helping them realize certain internal capabilities for agency. In other words, what are the higher objective needs or common goods being provided here beyond mere food provisions, and why were they not being met within the status quo of capitalist society?

Be sure to provide your initial answer by Wednesday as well as at least 2 responses to your group members' answers by Sunday.
