Abstract
Cultivating good character among children and adolescents has long been a ubiquitous goal of parents, educators, and theologians. Good character is morally valued by all human beings in all societies. Indeed, since the time of Aristotle, living a virtuous life (and the happiness that this brings) has been considered the ultimate good. According to Aristotle ( c. 330 BCE/1925 ), virtue is by definition a state of character, such that those engaging in virtuous activity are considered by others to be "good people".
