PHI 101 Essay Question *no sources, essay on your own thoughts: A recurrent theme that runs through the various readings is that of “happiness.” However, it is important to clarify that we are not
talking about the enjoyment we get from eating an ice cream cone or the pleasure of a warm bed on a cold night. Instead, think of John Stuart Mill’s definition of “higher pleasures” or Plato’s
statement that “the unexamined live is not worth living,” or Nietzsche’s “noble man,” or Confucius’ idea of “Ren.” What we are talking about are the ethical actions that identify us as human—in the
best way possible. We all strive to self-actualize, to become the best that we can be. Sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail, but if we have done our best and done it with ethical
consideration of others, then it helps define us as good people. Your task is to identify who you are and who you want to be. What are your “higher pleasures,” what makes you “noble,’ what makes
you “Ren”? Include the following, but feel free to add to this: 1.What is “happiness”? (remember, this is not the momentary concept) 2.What actions have you done to achieve happiness? Give two or
three examples. 3.A “right” action must be ethical (although it need not conform to societal standards). What made your actions ethical or “right”? Justify your answer. 4.What do your actions say
about your values and concept as a person? 5.Choose someone you think exemplifies the ideal ethical person. Explain who and why. 6.Compare your actions (from #3 and #4) to the person in #5.
7.Conclusion: Where to you go from here? How can you better achieve happiness, in its highest sense? (Confucius said that the “good man is the one who is always striving to be better.” Your essay
should be a minimum of five pages. Use 12pt. Times New Roman font, normal margins and double-spacing. You should not need to quote, so don’t worry about MLA or other format. Also, this should be
entirely your own thoughts, so no citations should be needed. The most frequent problem with essays is just not giving yourself enough time to compose and proofread them. Write and rewrite and
rewrite and proof it carefully. That will avoid most problems. Do not copy ideas from any other source
