3. Explain the three conditions (pages 15-19 of the Module presentation) and how they combine to make someone virtuous.

1. Understanding of Generosity. This is a learned trait. It starts from birth and is a practice. In the module Bill was praised as a young boy and this continued into his adulthood. This led to Bill helping out the home-less when he was an adult.

2. Generosity can be forced but considered generous when it comes from the heart. Being generous for the wrong reasons is not the same as being generous for the common good.

3. Generosity can be learned and it has to be practiced. Starting off by giving little by little in a forced manner can lead to the desired generosity of giving effortlessly.

Aristotle also spoke of generosity whenever he was talking about virtue. He considered they were one in the same. One cannot have virtue or act virtuous without generosity or acts of being generous. The three conditions combined to make someone virtuous in a guide type of directions. It explains how someone is to be generous and how to act generous and it also describes none generous or virtuous acts. Bill was raised to be respectful, generous, and giving. Generosity has to become effortless in order for it to become natural, which means that this needs to be a common practice for whomever wants to become virtuous. The conditions say that once you start giving and being generous without even trying, then you have reached your goal. Virtue is a practice just like anything else that someone wishes to accomplish in their life. Like physical fitness everyone has a certain way they want to look and practice to accomplish that certain physical fitness

1. Charles Barkley famously said "I'm not a role model."  Given what we learned in this module on virtue ethics, do you think that a major sports star has the right to say that?  Why or why not? I don't think that he has the right to say such a thing. Just because he may not think highly of himself it doesn't mean that there isn't a kid somewhere that absolutely adores him and would like to grow up and follow in his footsteps. As adults we often time fail to realize how much of an influence we have on children rather their ours or not. Children are extremely impressionable and it doesn't take much for them to pick up on our habits rather they are food or bad. With that being said, he could very well be the reason why a child has given up hope and doesn't want to be a basketball star anymore. Stars on tv may should always be weary of what they say on camera or off off camera not only for viewers but for their actual family members as well.I feel that you must accept the responsibility of being a leveled headed stable person when you decide to become a star. Because the small things definitely matters to viewers and especially fans. Now Barkley may partake in activities that parents shouldn't or wouldn't condone for their children to be exposed to however, thats his personal business that should be kept to himself and corrected within himself. Just to spare the feelings of others watching and family members as well.
