The Six Types of Courage (The following information was taken from the blog “Lion’s Whiskers”) Physical Social Moral Emotional Intellectual Spiritual Although many times we see a blend of two or more of these types of courage, there is generally one that dominates the occasion. Here are the six types of courage: Physical courage: This is the courage most people think of first: bravery at the risk of bodily harm or death. It involves developing physical strength, resiliency, and awareness. Social courage: This type of courage is also very familiar to most of us as it involves the risk of social embarrassment or exclusion, unpopularity or rejection. It also involves leadership Intellectual courage: This speaks to our willingness to engage with challenging ideas, to question our thinking, and to the risk of making mistakes. It means discerning and telling the truth. Moral courage: This involves doing the right thing, particularly when risks involve shame, opposition, or the disapproval of others. Here we enter into ethics and integrity, the resolution to match word and action with values and ideals. It is not about who we claim to be to our children and to others, but who we reveal ourselves to be through our words and actions. Emotional courage: This type of courage opens us to feeling the full spectrum of positive emotions, at the risk of encountering the negative ones. It is strongly correlated with happiness. Spiritual courage: This fortifies us when we grapple with questions about faith, purpose, and meaning, either in a religious or nonreligious framework. Assignment: For each type of the six types of courage: pick a popular character from a book, TV show or movie and provide an example of how that character showed courage. Each one should be about 3‐4 sentences. .

Allen Thesis Director: Professor Richard M. Drucker This thesis will examine the fictional war novels, The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane and Going after Cacciato by Tim O‘Brien. It will examine the heroic illusions created by soldiers on the frontline as psychological coping mechanisms as a means to escape the realities of war. It will also examine how Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien create protagonists and characters that struggle to understand the conflicts within themselves as consequences of their developing point of view toward themselves, their war comrades, and their society‘s values and how each of these writers through observing battlefield experience comes to question the meaning of war and its effects. Stephen Crane and Tim O‘Brien investigate the moral and cultural values of their respective societies. Crane portrays the Victorian era O‘Brien examines1960‘s America. Each novel asks us to view their war with both irony and sympathy.

25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Faces of Product Pleasure: 25 Positive Emotions in Human-Product Interactions Pieter M. A. Desmet Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands The study of user emotions is hindered by the absence of a clear overview of what positive emotions can be experienced in human- product interactions. Existing typologies are either too concise or too comprehensive, including less than five or hundreds of positive emotions, respectively. To overcome this hindrance, this paper introduces a basic set of 25 positive emotion types that represent the general repertoire of positive human emotions. The set was developed with a componential analysis of 150 positive emotion words. A questionnaire study that explored how and when each of the 25 emotions are experienced in human-product interactions resulted in a collection of 729 example cases. On the basis of these cases, six main sources of positive emotions in human-product interactions are proposed. By providing a fine-grained yet concise vocabulary of positive emotions that people can experience in response to product design, the typology aims to facilitate both research and design activities. The implications and limitations of the set are discussed, and some future research steps are proposed. Keywords – Emotion-Driven Design, Positive Emotions, Questionnaire Research. Relevance to Design Practice – Positive emotions differ both in how they are evoked and in how they influence usage behaviour. Designers can use the set of 25 positive emotions to develop their emotional granularity and to specify design intentions in terms of emotional impact. Citation: Desmet, P. M. A. (2012).

Our Intentions Core Values: COURAGE, REVERENCE And
When We Meet Again April 2021 The Board and staff team are beginning to imagine the time when opening the building and grounds to on-site gatherings might be possible again. Beginning in April, we will hold several congregational gatherings, with Board members facilitating break-out groups, to gather questions and ideas from members and friends. We will also gather questions and ideas from key committees. Responses from these gatherings, and from the Protocols Advisory team, together with resources from the Mn. Dept. of Public Health, the UUA and other sources, will guide staff in their recommendations to the Board through the summer and beyond. ________________________________________________________________________________ Our Intentions to shape an evolving plan for gradual return to on-site activities as soon as possible, with input from the Board, lay leaders/committees and the congregation at large to ask the Protocols Advisory Group to guide each step of the plan to gather a technology team to enable possibility for each step of the plan to expect policy, guidelines and clear expectations to be owned and articulated by the Board, and to be implemented by staff Core Values: COURAGE, REVERENCE and COMPASSION We treasure embodied, in-person relationships and engagement. We are mindful not only of Covid’s physical dangers, but dangers of isolation to emotional and mental health. We endorse and will follow the best research and best practices of science. We will center the most vulnerable and those most at risk. We will care for our members of all ages, and for the wider community (the common good). We commit to justice and equity, mindful that access to adequate healthcare is uneven in our society: what feels “safe” to some may be dangerous to others.

What Is Everyday Courage?
CHAPTER 1 What Is Everyday Courage? The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment, but it is no less than a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. People do what they must—in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures—and that is the basis of all human morality. —John F. Kennedy The Evolution of Courage Early Greek philosophers, Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, participated in spirited debates about the definition of courage. They were in agreement that courage was one of four virtues. The four virtues are prudence, justice, temperance, and courage. Aristotle is credited with saying that courage is the first of all virtues. It makes all other virtues possible. It was Socrates who asked, “What is courage?” He spent many hours with his students attempting to discover the answer to this question. Plato’s ideas about courage, found throughout his writings, liken courage to a kind of perseverance. He took into account and considered how cour- age related to everyday common activities such as facing sickness, poverty, pains, and fears. Aristotle’s definition of courage was focused on physical 9 courage, the courage of soldiers on the battlefield or the courage of men in defense of their families, and the role they play in keeping the polis, or city, safe. Aristotle’s conception of courage was that courage as well as the other virtues represented a system of means between extremes. With courage, the two extremes were cowardice and rashness. A coward runs away in the face of danger, as opposed to the extreme of rashness, which is when a person faces danger in a careless or foolish manner.

Overview of the Virtue of Courage
Overview of the Virtue of Courage Courage also known as bravery, fortitude, will, and intrepidity, is the ability to confront fear, pain, risk/danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. "Physical courage" is courage in the face of physical pain, hardship, death, or threat of death. "Moral courage" is the ability to act rightly in the face of popular opposition, shame, scandal, or discouragement. The virtue of courage helps us to take the initiative to make changes in our lives and/ or to accept changes brought before us. Courage can often lead us to a spiritual awakening and/ or enlightenment. Courage can allow you to shed old patterns, especially those patterns that are harmful to your body or soul. This virtue allows you to reach new levels of being. No matter who you are, no matter what has already happened to you, no matter what you have done, it is still possible to have a “new beginning”.
