This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to social statistics. The central focus is descriptive, bivariate, and inferential statistics as they are used in social sciences to analyze survey data. Students will be introduced to how statistics are calculated. The class will focus on (1) understanding the intuitive meaning behind a variety of common social statistics, (2) calculating these statistics by hand with commonly-available spreadsheet software, and (3) practical application of statistical procedures.

This course will begin with an overview of the history of virtue ethics from the ancient Greeks to the present day, covering the historical zenith of virtue ethics through the Middle Ages, the fall of virtue concepts in the early modern period, and the rebirth of virtue ethics in the later 20th century. We will discuss a number of executive, moral, intellectual, and civic virtues and their related vices, and will address some of the fundamental philosophical questions that arise in the study of virtue ethics: What is a virtue? How is virtue related to a life that is good for the individual and good for the community? Can virtue be taught? Can virtue be measured? Are we suspicious of virtue? What are the grounds for critique of some of the traditional virtues?
