8 Your Farm. Your Future. Farming remain important as embodiments of the essence of a profession, as a recent incident shows. A colleague who had spent a week in China discussing the design of turbine blades and the development of the wind energy industry in that country had found there a concern over the way in which rising intellectual property litigation was detracting from the spirit of collaboration. Which had fuelled the early development of wind technology. In response and on his return he had written to his Chinese counterparts drawing attention to the civic responsibilities accepted and assumed by the founders of the civil engineering profession and linked this to guide through moral strength and those who rule through physical or economic force his paper seeks to extend that link between professions, moral strength, and the role of exemplary figures. It begins with a brief introduction that places the concept of exemplary figures in the context of both contemporary virtue ethics and earlier thought. It then considers the words used to describe these figures, especially in translations of the Analects. After the consideraimplications for the farming community.found there a concern over the way in which rising intellectual property litigation was detracting from the spirit of collaboration.development of wind technology.
