Phi-105 Week Five Checkpoint – Moral Character View Points

CheckPoint Moral Character View Points PHI/105 Intro. To Philosophy Due sequence 10/05/2011 Instructor Geth Allison Moral Character View Points Referencing week quad discussion concerning moral fictitious character, one viewpoint my discussion group boilers suit agreed upon including me is that habits develop from repeatedly doing something and can reflect on a mortal of full(a) or bad moral character.For example, if a kid was taught to say yes sir while growing up by the time he or she becomes an adult they have developed a habit of responding as yes sir without thinking twice because of saying it repetitively as they grew up, which can count to be a reflection of a person with good moral character, although that is not always the case in my opinion. In contrast, a person of bad moral character also could have been taught as a child to respond as yes sir as they grew into an adult developing a habit, but overall his or her moral character is bad.In adjunct everyone agreed th at habits, whether morally good or bad is formed from repetitiveness, which does not always result in the person organism of bad or good moral character. On the other hand, quite a few classmates disagree on the viewpoint concerning habit and moral character being linked as some of them argue that the two have no connection what so ever. In contrast, my perspective is that habit and moral character is connected to a certain extent based on the circumstances.For example, habits whether good or bad, are apart of every singles moral character I have a bad habit of purchasing shoes, although I do not need them, but I have a ginger up to purchase a pair or two if I go into shoe store. This is something I have been doing for as long as I can remember, but I must say it has gotten better because I intentionally stay out of the shoe store.Nevertheless, it is apart of who I am, that is, an individual with a shoe fetish, which I actually do not cogitate to be a bad habit, as most would say the opposite. But, Does that vex my moral character bad? Not hardly therefore I would say my viewpoint and those in opposition to it follows the modern form of respectable thinking because from a modern perspective the act of purchasing one, two, or how ever many pair of shoes repeatedly is not slander it is something that I have a passion for, and does not result to anyone getting hurt.
