According to recent research, wisdom at any age is rare though it is more likely found among the old than among the young. Identify one person you think is wise and describe his or her characteristics that demonstrate wisdom
The person may be someone known to you or not;
living or not. How do the person's characteristics of wisdom compare to the characteristics outlined in the textbook?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary and should include an identified individual and characteristics that
demonstrate wisdom in the student's eyes. A comparison of characteristics of
wisdom outlined in the textbook should follow, including a broad, practical approach
to life, great insight into the complexities and uncertainties of human nature, and
looking to enduring truths rather than contemporary quick fixes for answers.
