When: Apr 18, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Open to men and women.

Ethics may also be called morality. To live an ethical (moral) life is our most important challenge. Many people have no clear idea what ethics (morality) is. Morality does not require religious belief. Plato proved thousands of years ago that morality and religion are not necessarily related. Morality is simple to understand but rarely easy to apply . Since antiquity it has been known, according to Aristotle, that morality is needed for a happy live. In Part I, learn what ethics (morality) is and why a judgmental attitude is necessary to be ethical. In Part II, learn the theory of O.H. Mower, who showed half a century ago that we cause psychological symptoms when we disconnect from morality.
