On each day of the week you\u00a0will be assigned a particular activity to complete.\u00a0Some of these activities will ask you to complete a task, reflect on a few questions, or engage in a thought experiment.\u00a0Others will involve cultivating habits, changing your behavior with others in a certain way, or going about your everyday routine a little differently.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\">All of the philosophical exercises for this week are located on this page and you will need to complete them daily. This will consist of two steps:<\/span><\/p><ol><li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">At the start of each day in the morning, you should read the assigned exercises and carry them out\u2014you can keep this assignment open on your phone throughout the day for easy access.<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-size: large;\">At the end of each day in the evening, you should submit\u00a0in the designated dropbox a short private <b>journal entry<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: large;\">\u00a0(1-2 paragraphs) on what you\u2019ve learned.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><p><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Class periods and dialogue sessions that occur during this week will involve discussing and working on your exercises individually or in groups.<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: large;\">Readings for the assigned exercises and evening reflections this week are drawn from:<\/span><\/p><ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\"><li>Aristotle,\u00a0<em>Nicomachean Ethics<\/em>, translated by C.D.C.
