    CHAPTER 5

    CHAPTER 5
    VIRTUE ETHICS
    VIRTUE ETHICS
    Chapter Objectives:
    1. Discuss the meaning and basic
    Principles of virtue ethics;

    2. Distinguish virtues acts from non-


    Virtues acts; and

    3. Apply Aristotle’s ethics in


    understanding the
    Filipino character.
    INRODUCTION
    An online news account
    narrates key officials from both
    legislative and executive
    branches of the government
    voicing out their concerns on
    the possible ill effects of too
    much violence seen by children
    on television.
    This prompted then-
    Department of Education
    Secretary Bro. Armin Luistro to
    launch the implementing
    guidelines of Children’s Television
    Act of 1997 in order to regulate
    television shows and promote
    more child-friendly programs.
    Ultimately, for Bro.
    Luistro, to regulate
    television programs
    would help in the
    development of
    children’s values.
    According to the news article;
    • Department of Education held a series of
    consultation with various stakeholders to the
    issue of exposure of children to TV violence.
    • Implemented the rules and guidelines for
    viewing safety and created a television
    violence rating code to be applied in all TV
    programs.
    • Lastly, they also set 15% of television airtime
    for shows conductive to children.
    Children at a young age have not yet
    achieved full personal growth and
    mental development. When they see
    violence on television on a regular basis,
    they may consider such violent act as
    “normal”.
    Much worse is that they might tend to
    believe that such acts, since committed
    by adults are permissible.
    • The American Academy of Child and
    Adolescent psychiatry, for instance,
    enumerated the harmful effects of
    television violence such as being
    insensitive to the possible ill
    consequences brought about by watching
    violent shows.
    • The study also suggest that, children
    exposed to television violence begin to
    “imitate what they observe” and consider
    violence as “a way to solve problems”.
    Virtue Ethics
    • Is the ethical framework that concerned
    with understanding the good as a matter of
    developing the virtuous character of a
    person.
    • Focuses on the formation of one’s
    character brought about by determining
    and doing virtuous acts.
    • ARISTOTLE (384-322 BCE)

    -was born in Macedoria and studied


    philosophy under Plato in Athens. He
    was also considered to be the brightest
    among Plato’s students in the learner’s
    school.
    The two major thinkers of Ancient
    Greece, Plato and Aristotle, had
    discourses concerning virtue. But
    Aristotle book entitled Nicomachean
    Ethics is the first comprehensive and
    programmatic study of virtue ethics.
    • Aristotle discourse of ethics departs
    from the Platonic understanding of
    reality and conception of the good.

    • Both Plato and Aristotle affirm rationally


    as the highest faculty of a person and
    having such characteristics enables a
    person to realize the very purpose of
    her existence.
    • For Plato, the real is outside the realm
    of any human security experience but
    can somehow be grasped by one’s
    intellect.

    • For Aristotle, the real is found within


    our everyday encounter with objects in
    the world.
