The question is asked "can and ethics course work towards bridging the gap between intellect and character?" My opinion is yes, I believe this for three reasons. One being because you are attending an ethics course, the course can help your character, and work on your intelligence all in one.
First reason that I agree with the questions "can and ethics course work towards bridging the gap between intellect and character" is being that one is in an ethics course which hopefully will help with learning the difference between good vs. bad, which is what ethics is. His or her may learn or know the difference between good or bad, or think they know before attending the course, but can they live it out or when faced with a good or bad situation can they make the right decision. Secondly perhaps before attending the course your character is low and needs to be improve. Maybe being in an ethics course can help with that and once you have realized the difference between good and bad and can be strong enough to make the best decision, or the right decision, your character will improve with your growth of learning. Thirdly the reason why I agree with the question is that perhaps one has a strong character, but their intellect is low, ethics can help with that by providing intelligence and knowledge about good vs. bad or just general knowledge to help build upon your intelligence. I believe that ones character is very important ad will help carry you through live as a individual, but others may disagree with this is think that intellect is more important in life. Perhaps an ethics course can help with this by building your character, building your intellect, and distinguishing the difference between good vs. bad. As Coles says "intellect can grow and grow" (Coles, pg. 10), but I believe that character is something also that can grow and grow, its all in what you choose for yourself and to hopefully bridge the gap some what between intellect and character as one grows.
