Introduction to Theme: Courage

Courage to some is one of the most important things in the world. It is the start of all virtues. In order to apply a virtue to your life, you must have the courage to pursue it.

Views of courage can be modified to be good or bad. For example: If a person or a person's family has been discriminated or prejudiced because of race, sex, sexuality, or ethnic background, it would be hard to come up with the courage to keep going or stand up for yourself. If the person doesn't have a positive influence in their life, it would be hard for them to gain enough courage to survive or speak out without having fear be present. Emotion can have a very big part in courage also, by overwhelming fear, courage is free to take charge and set things on the right course.

While sometimes fear can distort the appearance of courage, it always manages to be overcome. Although fear will always be with us, everything we do or decide on will be based on how much courage we have to carry through with the plan. Alternate interpretations of and perspectives on courage can warp or effect our social values.

  1. Clear articulation of your direction. The myth is a reliable choice for the topic, and you set out the scope of the project well. Next time, I would maybe load the posts in reverse order so that there is a little better sense of flow.
