In this reading the author touched on some interesting aspects of democracy. \u00a0The part that was most interesting to me is when Williamson talked about the three civic virtues. He says the three civic virtues are awareness of others, a sense of fairness and fair play, and the ability to find the right balance between moral humility and moral courage. I like how he then breaks down each virtue and explains why people need to know them and understand them for a democratic society to work. After reading his in depth description of each virtue, I agree that those things are needed for a democratic society to function.<\/p>\n
Out of the three civic virtues, the one I found the most interesting was having moral humility\/courage. I also think this is one that a lot of people in today’s society do not possess. The requirement of this virtue is the ability for a person to somewhat have an understanding to other people’s views even if they are opposing views. Most people have a set view of their own and if it’s not their belief then it’s just wrong all together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
