Yet, I disagree. Sincerity is the quality of being free from pretense, deceit, or hypocrisy. Therefore, sincerity evaluates the phrase being said for truthfulness and also deceit. When a person is being sincere he or she believes what is being said to be honest.…
What is Justice? Justice is a concept of moral rightness based on ethics; rationality, law, religion or fairness, as well as taking into account the inborn rights of all human beings and citizens, the right of all people and individuals to equal protection before the law of their civil rights, without discrimination. Justice is one of the great concerns of humankind. It is something for which people over centuries have been willing to struggle and even die. Examples of Justice are novels 12 Angry Men and The Green Mile.…
Aristotle states virtue, are the “habits and traits that allow people to live well in communities” (Arthur & Scalet, 2009, p. 50). These virtues are characteristic traits such as honesty, generosity, bravery, and courage. Like many topics in life, courage is, for example, the center point or balance point of a pendulum where fear is on one side and confidence is on the other. Aristotle speaks of this as corresponding vises. Aristotle states that happiness depends on living in accordance with appropriate virtues. He says a virtuous person is naturally going to behave…
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 is the good moral quality that a person possesses. “Virtue ethics is currently one of three major approaches in normative ethics. It may, initially, be identified as the one that accentuates the virtues, or moral character, in contrast to the approach which accentuates obligations or rules (deontology) or that which accentuates the consequences of actions (consequentialism).” [ CITATION Ros12 \l 1033 ].…
2. How do these values affect your ethical decision-making? Which type of “ethical thinker” would you classify yourself as based on your chosen values? I really believe all the five values help me make an ethical decision. For example I would want a person that has ambition, compassion, loyalty, respect, and understanding to work for me. I think these values are important for everyday life.…

What does justice mean to you? Justice to me means that each person is treated fairly, no person is above the law nor is anyone subject to additional punishment for who they are. Justice means that the consequences for violating the rules of society are appropriate and commensurate with the degree of the violation. Punishment is fair and measured and sometimes even mitigated by mercy.…
Aristotle believes that virtues are traits that can be used to flourish your intended functions and to fulfill your particular purpose. One of the intended functions of humans that aids us the pursuit of human excellence is rational activity. Humans have the capability to reason, and this characteristic separates us from other living and nonliving things (Williams & Arrigo, 2012). Utilizing and expressing our rational potential in our choices or actions is the characteristic that allows humans pursue to excellence or…
Originally Latin, actually spelled “caballarius" and pronounced “SHivəlrē”, is chivalry. Chivalry is the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight. Such qualities include honor, courtesy, courage, justice, and willing to assist those in need. If one is chivalrous in character, then one is a gentleman and noble in his good deeds. He would in no manner hesitate to serve others and serve his God. This is evident as Honore de Balzac puts it: “the motto of chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one.”…
In the field of bioethics, Aristotle's ethics does not have the same practical force as action-based theories, especially when the dilemma in question involves deciding whether or not to do some particular action ("pulling the plug" on a patient). In any case, there are two ways we can apply the character based approach to bioethics. First, the specific healthcare provider (nurse, doctor, etc.) could continually ask themselves "What kind of character do I want to have as a healthcare provider, and what actions are consistent with this character?". A healthcare provider can ask themselves whether a certain action reflects the kind of character they want to be associated with. On a more general scale, the healthcare industry itself could ask itself "What kind of character do we want associated with the healthcare industry and how would this particular action contribute or take away from that character?"…
“Critically evaluate the view that ethics should be more concerned with who you are than what you do.”…
Virtue is the moral character of a person. A virtuous person will try to live up to a high moral standard. A person of virtue is who thought to be kind they we would expect this person to be kind in all different situations. This ethical theory is different from other theories because virtue does not focus on duties and rules or the consequences of an action of helping…
Albanian’s have a tradition where if a man commits a murder the victim’s family can kill any one of his male relatives in reprisal. If a boy is born into a family where his brother/son was a murderer he has to go into hiding; leaving proper education & adequate health care. Can we argue that Albanians are ‘morally wrong to have structured their society in this way?’ and ‘are their values are inferior to our own?’…
