CheckPoint Moral Character View Points PHI/cv Intro. To Philosophy Due Date 10/05/2011 teacher Geth Allison Moral Character View Points Referencing week quadruple news concerning righteous record, one viewpoint my discussion group overall agreed upon including me is that habits develop from repeatedly doing something and can reflect on a soulfulness of adept or mischievously moral character.For example, if a child was taught to say yes sir while growing up by the time he or she becomes an mature they realise developed a habit of doing as yes sir without thinking twice because of saying it repetitively as they grew up, which can appear to be a materialization of a person with good moral character, although that is not endlessly the case in my opinion. In contrast, a person of disconsolate moral character in any case 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 addit ion every(prenominal)one agreed that 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(a) hand, quite a few classmates disagree on the viewpoint concerning habit and moral character being linked as some of them argue that the 2 have no connection what so ever. In contrast, my perspective is that habit and moral character is affiliated to a certain extent based on the circumstances.For example, habits whether good or bad, are apart of every several(prenominal)s moral character I have a bad habit of purchasing raiments, although I do not need them, but I have a urge to purchase a straddle 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(prenominal) say it has gotten better because I intentionally lenify 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 believe to be a bad habit, as most would say the opposite. But, Does that make my moral character bad? Not hardly consequently I would say my viewpoint and those in ambition to it follows the modern form of ethical thinking because from a modern perspective the act of purchasing one, two, or how ever many pair of shoes repeatedly is not wrong it is something that I have a passion for, and does not result to anyone getting hurt.
