𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 : 𝐑𝐞-𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬

What do different generations really value when they
talk about virtue?

In this Zoom seminar, we compare earlier research with
younger adults to fresh insights from people in the
Third Age, exploring how each group understands
human excellence and character strengths.

Both generations prize Integrity and Open‑mindedness
and both downplay prudence, yet fascinating
differences emerge. Older adults tend to value deeper,
more reflective ways of engaging with the world, while
younger people lean toward more energetic,
outward‑driven traits.

A lively, eye‑opening session for anyone curious about
how character evolves across the lifespan.

𝐀𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐚𝐠𝐞

In a time of rising political tension, bigotry and social
division, understanding why personality cults take hold
has never been more important.

This seminar examines the evolutionary and
psychological roots of populism and charismatic
authority, from ancient rulers to modern strongmen, and
the traits that make followers vulnerable to
manipulation. Together we’ll consider what these
dynamics mean for building sustainable, inclusive and
peaceful communities.
A thoughtful and relevant exploration for today’s
climate.
