VIRTUE Designs Upcycling Campaign for Mcdonald's VIRTUE designs upcycling campaign for McDonald’s Our plastic goes swimming: McDonald’s says goodbye to its iconic plastic straws See the campaign video here ​ VIRTUE, the creative agency by VICE, unveils a new creative campaign for McDonald's Austria which sees the brand's iconic yellow-red striped plastic straws removed from all restaurants in Austria and used for the creation of a limited edition upcycled swimwear collection. By removing plastic straws and cups for shakes, which are now made from recyclable paper, McDonald’s Austria is committed to sustainability. The concept and idea of the unusual upcycling campaign comes from VIRTUE. It will come to life with a digital content campaign about the measure in the means of sustainability and launched on all the digital channels of McDonald’s Austria. Benedikt Böcker, Marketing Director McDonald’s Austria says: „We are delighted about our unique sustainable swimwear collection made from recycled material in our classic straw design.. As McDonald’s Austria’s Marketing Director, I appreciate the close and long-term cooperation with VIRTUE as our local agency partner in Vienna. Together we create unique projects and set new milestones in our sustainability communication.” The production of the sustainably produced swimsuit and shorts collection comes from the Viennese label Poleit in collaboration with Studio Furore. The photo shoot with photographer Kurt Prinz was made at the Gänsehäufel in Vienna in May: in compliance with all Corona safety rules. The swimwear collection will be raffled off via the McDonald’s company website.

  • Lust in Order to Organize the Way That We Go Through the 7 Deadly Sins, We Will Follow the Pattern That Dante
    7 Deadly Sins: Lust In order to organize the way that we go through the 7 deadly sins, we will follow the pattern that Dante gave us in the Purgatory. In the poem, he is being led in a vision through purgatory and he sees it as a vast mountain, near the bottom are the worst sins and near the top the lesser sins. The penitents climb the mountain, leaving sins behind and eventually attaining heaven. We are actually going to go backwards, down the mountain, starting with the lesser sins and working our way to the more grave ones. The sin that, while still deadly, is considered the least, is Lust. Is Lust even a sin? (Obviously we know it is because it is one of the 7 deadly sins, but suspend belief with me for a moment.) It seems as though perhaps it is not a sin. After all, lust is not an action, it is not hurting anybody else, but it is a feeling. Typically, a sin is an action that we willfully carry out. We cannot be judged by what tempts us, after all, Our Lord was tempted in the desert for 40 days and we know that he never sinned. However, Our Lord also says this, “27 You have heard that it was said to them of old: Thou shalt not commit adultery. 28 But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart.” This is a part of the Sermon on the Mount, in which Jesus teaches us how to take the law, the rules and precepts of the moral life, and inscribe those rules on our hearts.

  • The Vice of “Virtue”: Teaching Consumer Practice in an Unjust World1
    The Journal of Moral Theology, Vol. 7, No. 1 (2018): 13-27 The Vice of “Virtue”: Teaching Consumer Practice in an Unjust World1 Cristina L. H. Traina N THE EARLY TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, teaching children con- sumer virtue is often portrayed as inculcating habits of resisting commercial consumer media, limiting conspicuous consumption, I delaying gratification, and preferring lasting, often intangible goods. The argument is usually made by white, upper-middle- and up- per-class moralists, among whom I count myself. It is premised on the moral theological assumption that habits that are good for the soul, all things being equal, are also good for society. But if this assumption is incorrect, what then? This article lays out the classical consumer virtue argument and then questions the connection between personal virtue and the social good. First, it reflects on race and class variations in consumption patterns, exploring some of the circumstances and mo- tives that lie behind differences. Then, engaging Lisa Tessman’s work on burdened virtues, it asks what happens to virtue and its assumed connection to personal and public flourishing in structurally unjust sit- uations. Next, it argues that this question shifts our focus from simply promoting virtue to also overcoming the structural injustice that stunts and contorts virtue and severs its connections to flourishing. Finally, it recommends a socially critical approach to modeling virtuous con- sumption, one that focuses as much on justice and social change as on personal practice. In the background lies one uncomfortable assump- tion: in the world we know, it is not possible to consume in a way that perfectly supports classical understandings of virtue as well as true, holistic personal and communal flourishing.

  • Mere Christianity - Chapter 8 - "The Great Sin" - C.S
    Mere Christianity - Chapter 8 - "The Great Sin" - C.S. Lewis Chapter 8 - "The Great Sin" from "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis I now come to that part of Christian morals where they differ most sharply from all other morals. There is one vice of which no man in the world is free; which everyone in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else' and of which hardly any people, except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves. I have heard people admit that they are bad tempered, or that they cannot keep their heads about girls or drink, or even that they are cowards. I do not think I have ever heard anyone who was not a Christian accuse himself of this vice. And at the same time I have very seldom met anyone, who was not a Christian, who showed the slightest mercy to it in others. There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others. The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility. You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the center of Christian morals did not lie there. Well, now, we have come to the centre. According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.

  • Vice Crimes and Preventive Justice
    Crim Law and Philos (2015) 9:561–576 DOI 10.1007/s11572-013-9260-7 ORIGINAL PAPER Vice Crimes and Preventive Justice Stuart P. Green Published online: 10 October 2013 Ó Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013 Abstract This symposium contribution offers a reconsideration of a range of ‘‘vice crime’’ legislation from late nineteenth and early twentieth century American law, crim- inalizing matters such as prostitution, the use of opiates, illegal gambling, and polygamy. According to the standard account, the original justification for these offenses was purely moralistic (in the sense that they criminalize conduct solely or primarily because it is intrinsically wrong or sinful and not because of its negative effect on anyone) and pater- nalistic (in the sense that they limit persons’ liberty or autonomy supposedly for their own good); and it was only later, in the late twentieth century, that those who supported such legislative initiatives sought to justify them in terms of their ability to prevent harms. This piece argues that the rationale for these vice crimes laws was much more complicated than has traditionally been thought, encompassing not just moralistic justifications but also a wide range of harm-based rationales—similar to those that underlie modern, technocratic, ‘‘preventive justice’’ legislation involving matters such as anti-social behavior orders, sex offender registration, stop-and-frisk policing, and the fight against terrorism. Keywords Vice crimes Á Preventive justice Á Legal moralism Á Harm principle Á Drug crimes Á Prostitution Á Mann Act Á Harrison Act Vice crime statutes, such as those that make it illegal to use certain drugs, engage in certain types of gambling, sell or buy sexual services, engage in adult incest, or be part of a plural marriage, have often been characterized as applying to conduct that is harmless, or is An earlier version of this paper was presented at a workshop on Preventive Justice, organized by the Robina Institute at the University of Minnesota Law School.

  • The Seven Deadly Sins
    The Seven Deadly Sins by Dr. Ross Porter Pride, anger, envy, sloth, greed, lust and gluttony: there are no forces more destructive, degrading or deceptive. The prophets and authors of the Old Testament, Jesus and His Apostles, and theologians throughout the history of the Church have warned about the causes and effects of these seven deadly sins (also known as the seven capital sins because they are the sources of all other sins). Even now, these sins wait "crouching at the door" (Gen 4:7). In order to confront effectively the seven deadly sins, we must be able to identify them and to implement a plan of action that includes "virtue therapy," where one practices the virtue directly opposing the given vice. Holiness is ultimately the goal for all Christians, but possible only as we cooperate with God's grace. One needs to look no further than the First Commandment to understand the essence of why the seven deadly sins are so lethal: "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Ex 20:3). We dethrone God with each of the deadly sins, and give ourselves to something much less than Him. God will never abandon us, but He does honor our freedom to choose evil. C.S. Lewis wrote, "In the end there will only be two kinds of people, those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'Thy will be done.'" Pride can be defined as inordinate esteem of oneself and is distinct from healthy self-esteem, which is based on the knowledge of being a child of God saved by grace.

  • 1 | Seven: Sloth I. Introduction1 A. Video: MJW on Hammock. (I Found A
    1 | Seven: Sloth I. Introduction1 A. Video: MJW on hammock. (I found a way to get my prep time down to an hour!) Let me assure you, I paid top dollar for this sermon, so it should be good. B. Today’s deadly sin – the cardinal vice that we focus on this morning – is sloth. As I noted in my email this week: B.1. This is the sin most likely to be laughed at. “Sloth? A Deadly Sin? Are you kidding me? We leave murder, rape, racism, genocide and lying off the list to make room for taking a nap in front of the TV on Sunday afternoon? Whose brilliant idea was that?” B.2. And this is the sin many of you feel immune to. “No one who knows me would accuse me of sloth. I charge through life. I start early and end late. I work hard and play hard. I seldom use all my vacation time. This sermon is not for me.”2 C. I am aware of what I’m up against here. So let me simply open by saying: C.1. It’s likely that much of what you think about sloth is wrong or woefully incomplete. 1 Quotes: 1) "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Mat 26:41); 2) It is the sin which believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, loves nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and only remains alive because there is nothing it would die for.

  • 2.6 an Alternative to Moral Principles: Virtue Ethics
    108 BASIC PRINCIPLES whether the actual injuries sustained by the persons whose rights are violated (or to whom an injustice is done) will be minor. For example, suppose that I can ensure that my employees suffer no shame, blackmail, or restriction on their freedom as a result of my uncovering information about their private lives (I intend to destroy all such in­ formation). Fourth, I can ask whether the potential breakdown in trusting relation­ ships that surveillance risks is more or less important than the theft of life-saving re­ sources. Let us suppose, for example, that the potential harm that surveillance will inflict on employee relationships of trust is not large. Then it would appear that my invasion of the privacy of employees is justified. Hence, there are rough criteria that can guide our thinking when it appears that, in a certain situation, utilitarian considerations might be sufficiently important to override conflicting rights, standards of justice, or the demands of caring. Similar cri­ teria can be used to determine whether, in a certain situation, considerations of justice should override an individual's rights, or when the demands of caring are more or less significant than the requirements of justice. But these criteria remain rough and intu­ itive. They lie at the edges of the light that ethics can shed on moral reasoning. 2.6 An Alternative to Moral Principles: Virtue Ethics Ivan F. Boesky, born into a family of modest means, moved to New York City when, as a young lawyer, he was turned down for jobs by Detroit's top law firms.
