Bad Moral Character Viewpoints
Moral Character Viewpoints Many in my cluster agreed that a person who smokes does not always have a bad moral character; it just means that they fell into a bad habit. Sometimes bad habits can be brought on by the environment for which one surrounds themselves by. It is said that “a person with bad habits may not always be a person with bad moral character, whereas a person with bad moral character is more likely to have bad habits”. Now, as for what we disagreed upon, I would have to say it was that a person who was a habitual liar is a person who has bad moral character. In fact a person who lies is usually doing it to protect themselves or someone from social judgments. Did this disagreement follow traditional or modern ethical thinking?
