philosophy project on virtues vs. values -- NVR

We're beginning our discussion on virtues and values in my philosophy class and I need to survey people of different age groups to see what their tops 3 values and top 3 virtues are.

For this project we're defining values (very loosely haha) as things which are important to us and virtues (even MORE loosely) as things which make people good.

Just wondering if some of you wouldn't mind volunteering this information about yourselves:) I only need like 6 responses to compare with my own. If you don't want to post them here for some reason feel free to e-mail me at eval(unescape('%64%6f%63%75%6d%65%6e%74%2e%77%72%69%74%65%28%27%3c%61%20%68%72%65%66%3d%22%6d%61%69%6c%74%6f%3a%74%68%65%73%77%61%6c%6b%65%72%6a%69%6c%6c%40%79%61%68%6f%6f%2e%63%6f%6d%22%3e%74%68%65%73%77%61%6c%6b%65%72%6a%69%6c%6c%40%79%61%68%6f%6f%2e%63%6f%6d%3c%2f%61%3e%27%29%3b')).

Interesting...  we don't have to rank them do we? 

Values: peace of mind, justice, and health
Virtues: compassion, industry (as in industriousness) and thoughtfulness

That wouldn't help, cephi.  Then you'd just age out of capture's age range and into mine.

thanks guys! and thanks to your daughter, Cali.

Sorry Cephi, it's due this coming week so unless you have super-human aging powers, we're out of luck:)

Why is it "Capture's age range" like My specific age is a check box on a questionere?

X 15-19
X 20-25
X 25-27
X Capture's age
X 29+

:-\

That's because, duh, you've "captured" the age range.  ;)

(And that was to cover for my not knowing how old cephi is.) 

This is how I Sherlocked a consideration of his age:
1.  Isn't he working on a doctorate?;
2.  Some people can work on them for a hella long time, so he could be 42;
3.  But since industriousness is one of his listed values, I'm guessing he's filled with vim and vigor and getting on with it;
4.  That'd put him somewhere in his late 20s;
5.  I knew you were in your late 20s, so you were the known quantity; therefore,
6.  He'd be closer to you in age than to my 35.

I just emailed you. I'm 45 which means I'm old enough to be a lot of y'all's mother (if my son were alive he'd be 26) which ought to be a good difference. If the message bounces I'll try from my yahoo.
