Defining Bravery

We'll start with the basics. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, bravery is all about daring, courage, valor, and fortitude. But where did this term come from? French braverie or Italian bavaria, both meaning 'boldness' – now that's fascinating! Time to delve into history! What were we taught about bravery, and how has it shaped our understanding of this virtue? From the big screen to the pages of our favorite novels, we'll be exploring both traditional and unconventional portrayals of bravery. Alexandra has her eye on the National Treasure series, emphasizing doing the right thing and standing up for your beliefs. As for Christine – well, stay tuned for her take!

Evolving Definitions

Picture this: a quote from a children's book that sparked our discussion, which we found on @yoga.will.heal’s profile. "Bravest things we have ever said: Asking for help. Asking for help is not giving up; it is refusing to give up." Let's unpack this thought-provoking quote! What do we think about it? How has it altered our perception of bravery in the modern context?

Bravery & Vulnerability

As we navigate the landscape of bravery, let's also explore vulnerability. Are vulnerability and weakness interchangeable in our dictionary? Where do bravery and vulnerability intersect in our lives today? Are they mutually exclusive, or do they dance together in harmony? Brace yourselves for the grand finale – how do we plan to channel our bravery moving forward?
