Part 1: A Personal Flourishing Definition There is no ideal definition to measure up to, but we are looking for evidence that you’ve listened well, discussed, and wrestled to express what you really mean by human flourishing. Be sure your definition incorporates, or engages with, the following concepts of well-being: spirituality, happiness (pleasure), meaning (purpose), virtue (ethics) and suffering (pain). Think of it as a kind of personal manifesto, something you want to live by or grow into. Reference articles and other sources, quotes, etc, that have helped to shape your wording. Then provide two practical examples of how this conceptual definition has been, or could be, displayed in your behaviour. Criteria a) Length: minimum – half page, maximum one page (total) b) Quality of writing (grammar, citation, etc.) c) Integration of well-being concepts, sources / fulfillment of the requirements / for full marks cite two sources that helped you develop this personal definition.
