Personal Virtues

I went over the list a couple of times and I am not sure if I even put them into the

correct order or not of how I feel. I had changed them a few times. I am surprised at a

couple of choices that I made. I was not sure of how to rate respectability and dignity. I

know I can respect a person but that person does not respect me so I in turn do not want

to respect that person. I do have self-worth and I do have pride in myself but I do not

think it is important as my first five choices.

My most important choice was truthfulness. The one thing that I hate is when

someone lies to me. Little white lies does not bother me too much, I think everyone has

told a white lie sometime or another. I like to be honest with myself and with others.

When someone lies the truth usually comes out and sometimes it is not good.

Wholesomeness is another one that is important to me. I know that if I am healthy I will

be able to take care of my children and take care of the needs of my family. I make sure

that my house, children and myself are cleaned. I do not like germs and when people do

not take that precaution it drives me crazy. I am industrious, I am a hard worker. I get

really dedicated to my job especially if it deals with children. I am sure that my

dedication and hard work comes from my father. He still works at the age of 72 and

probably will until he can no longer do so. I believe I am mercy now. I used to be high

strung and had a temper but after having children I have calmed down. I think I am mild,

I do not get mad to easy anymore and I am very gentle. The one that I like is

humour. I am friendly with just about everyone. I like to be open and honest with

people. For the most part I am courtesy towards other people.

Now for my bottom five, sternness

    One example of me lying would be the numerous times I lied to my mom saying I don’t have homework when I actually do. I work really slowly on my work, so I lie to her so she doesn’t get onto me for not working fast enough and look down on me, which ultimately hurts my good name… just a little. I still do my work; she just doesn’t know it, which seems counter intuitive. I instead tell her that I’m getting…

    The first virtue Ben Franklin wanted was “An Aversion to Tyranny”. The main idea of this to Ben is that he doesn’t like tyranny, which is power or control of one person. He didn’t like to be told what to do to and he also liked some control and therefore, have a limited government. Ben didn’t want any dictatorship either, which meant no kings or queens. Franklin realized that he didn’t like the idea of tyranny when he was 12 years old. He became an apprentice at the print shop of his older brother, James, who tended to be a tougher boss.…

    Chapter 17 Virtue Ethics

    • 621 Words
    • 2 Pages

    17.3 I agree with Aristotle’s argument and conclusion that being virtuous person contributes so much to someone’s life with regards to going well. The reason for this is that our ultimate goal ought to be self-sufficient. That is; Aristotle believed that the good of something should not be limited to instrumental values e.g. money and fame. The goal of life, according to Aristotle, should be about self-sufficiency, which means that a person needs to possess it all and make it worth for our lives. The other explanation is the rationality of doing something, which is something that sets human being apart from all the other living and non-living things. The ultimate rationality tends to consist of our daily reasoning power.…

    “Virtue, then, is a state that decides, consisting in a mean, the mean relative to us, which is defined by reference to reason, that is to say, to the reason by reference to which the prudent person would define it. It is a mean between two vices, one of excess and one of deficiency” Aristotle’s definition of Virtue of Character but what is it really saying. Let us define it with the Socratic Definition per genus et differentia. Let us break it into the three parts genus, species and the differentiating factor (differentia). The genus or general topic would be virtue of character, the species or the specific area of virtue of character would be the mean between the two vices excess and deficiency, lastly is the differentiating factor or what makes the species different from other forms of it which would be the situation and how individual people can reason out different outcomes from what is required from them.…

    • 2 Pages

    Virtue ethics belongs to the branch of philosophy called ethics. Virtue ethics is also a sub branch of normative ethics and it contrasts with disteleology because normative ethics is more concerned about characteristics of a person rather than the moral duties and laws they must abide, so Natural Moral Law, Kantian ethics and Divine Command are usually dismissed by Virtue Ethics. This ethical theory also contrasts with consequentialism e.g. Utilitarianism which is more focused on results and outcomes. Virtue ethics was first introduces by Plato and was further developed by Aristotle.…
