The ancient Greeks believed that hospitality was one of the greatest virtues, and hubris (overbearing pride or arrogance) was one of the greatest character flaws.
Does this philosophy make sense to you? If not, why not? In your opinion, what is the greatest virtue? What is the greatest character flaw?

Dan feels he sets his goals too high. When he doesn't meet them, he feels awful. He has decided he should set small and gentle goals. Then he will feel good about meeting them and be inspired to reach further goals.
Sharene, however, feels that a person should always set high goals. If she sets high goals, she will achieve a lot, even if she never reaches her goal.
Whose philosophy is correct, in your opinion? Explain.

For decades, elementary school children across the country ad been required to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag every school-day morning. That practice has recently been called into question, and standing and reciting the pledge is now voluntary.
