I've realized during the discussion that I am in practice with eudaimonia for years now . I follow and stand strictly with my virtues and morals, that as much as I can, I will speak up about what's wrong even if it ends in a messy argument. And at the end, I feel somewhat satisfied since I know what I did was right, and that the other will realize it too.

Also, today's discussion taught me alot in terms of being moral and virtous, and that being too much is not right. It can't be helped sometimes especially in some instances. But it made me resonate with the golden standard, that you should be fair to yourself and to others. "Too much is never good" ^^

We talked about virtue ethics and natural law in today's discussion.

To cultivate our moral character, we must develop good habits that will influence our decision-making. We are encouraged to look at the bigger picture instead of our short-term goals, as our character shapes the paths we are willing to take. Little steps, such as choosing to educate ourselves whenever we make mistakes and deeply reflect on them, will determine what kind of people we will be.

Another thing that I appreciated in our discussion is the importance of the "right to exit" once a certain set of principles does not align with our personal beliefs. While certain factors may force us to follow the traditional route and set aside our comfort, we must understand that we have the right to exit after self-reflection. We are given the free will to think on our own, understand which moral behaviors we agree with, and contemplate if these are still aligned with what we want to achieve in the future.

Aristotle said that if you're a virtuous person, you know what to do. All the time. You know that doing the things you know is wrong will give you guilt if you do it. You also know how to handle yourself and how to get along with others. You have good judgement, and having a good judgment is being courageous. You can read the room, and you know what's right and when. We need to always focus on being a good person, because if we did, right actions will always follow.

I learned in this class that virtue ethics and natural law are really important ideas in moral philosophy. Virtue ethics is all about developing good character traits, like courage and honesty, to live a fulfilling life. It highlights how practical wisdom helps us make better moral choices. On the other side, natural law suggests that there are objective moral truths in human nature that we can discover through reason, and that laws should reflect these truths to be fair.

We learned in today's discussion about Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory.

Virtue Ethics talks about how we can balance proper functioning to obtain the golden means of acts that will lead us to eudaimonia. This includes courage, honesty and generosity.

Rights Theory on the other hand is about the justified claims to protect individual interests. This involves the discussion about correlativity theory that emphasizes the role or moral and logical correlativity.

# data[].attributes.body
For today's learning session, I learned that virtue ethics focuses on improving person's character to be virtuous rather than following rules. Virtues are traits that help a person live morally with good habits and personality. The proponent of this theory is Aristotle and Plato. On the other hand, Rights Theory is defined as claims for protection of interests with justification. Thus, we have the rights to property, to live and be happy. With this, I came to realize that having these virtues and rights help develop my moral character and help make right decisions in real-life situations.

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned that both strategies provide distinct perspectives on what it means to "do the right thing," but they emphasize other facets of ethics that I hadn't given much consideration to previously.

The main goal of virtue ethics is to cultivate virtues like compassion, bravery, and honesty. Virtue ethics urges us to concentrate on developing into individuals who innately desire to do the right thing rather than providing us with a rigid set of rules. This sounds more personal as if you're actively focusing on bettering yourself rather than merely adhering to the rules which is why I find it so intriguing. Rights theory is based on the premise that everyone has basic rights that should not be infringed. This is the sort of ethical reasoning we find in laws and regulations, where the purpose is to ensure that everyone's rights, such as freedom, privacy, and safety, are respected. Rights Theory is more organized than Virtue Ethics, and I believe it is useful in circumstances when individuals may be treated unfairly.

We learn and talked about how Virtues that focuses on how we value our characteristics as a person and how we improve. Someone that knows what they should do what they think is right and when is the right time to initiate the actions and how far can the limits go. Virtue ethics is where we try to expand our and shape our characters, by being open-minded and compassionate. It mostly lesson today is where we focus on how far we could do that what we think is right with different ways we could do, either to achieve our goals or for the sake of others, even if it means breaking rules.

This class has taught me that virtue ethics and rights theory present opposing but complementary perspectives on moral philosophy, particularly with relation to human rights.

integrating these viewpoints can result in a more compassionate society that respects both individual liberties and the welfare of all. We can more effectively defend the rights of others by developing virtues.

This session, we analyzed and learned the definition of Right theory and Virtue Ethics.

Right theory focuses on the morality of actions based on adherence to rules, principles, or consequences, claiming that an action is right if it follows a moral norm or produces the best result.

Virtue ethics stresses the development of positive character characteristics or virtues, implying that an action is ethically correct if it derives from virtuous character or is consistent with what a virtuous person would do in that scenario.

What I've learned in today's discussion is about Virtue Ethics and Natural Law.

Virtue Ethics emphasizes an individual's character and virtues over rules or consequences when evaluating moral behavior. However Natural Law is the idea that humans have an understanding of right and wrong, given by nature or a divine creator.

This few minute lesson have taught me that ethical decision making can be approached by considering the consequences of our actions, focusing on maximizing overall happiness or well being.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are my insights/takeaways: Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory. Virtue ethics emphasizes the development of character and virtues like compassion and courage. It highlights the value of relationships and communities. Right theories, on the other hand, place a higher priority on abiding by moral obligations and laws, offering precise standards for making decisions. Right theories guarantee constancy in moral behavior, even though virtue ethics promotes human development. A more balanced ethical framework might result from combining the two viewpoints; this promotes responsible living while also respecting moral values and personal integrity.

# data[].attributes.body
Through studying Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory, I've learned how each approach uniquely shapes moral thinking. Virtue Ethics emphasizes character growth and the importance of community, while Rights Theory focuses on moral rules, providing consistency in behavior. Combining these could create a more holistic ethical perspective—one that allows for personal integrity and responsible decision-making, balancing individual development with societal respect.

The discussion for today is about virtue ethics for what I understand is in this topic is we have a vice,virtue,vice that it will have a bad and good outcome also some philosopher like Aristotle and plato on how they discuss about virtue . It discuss about the Eudaimonia that explain a life well live and also the key principle of virtue ethics like developing good character trait were in you need to be generous is your main behavior. And also abut the right theory that a giving us a right to choose and what will the best for the human ,and it includes the rules and law.

Today's discussion was all about virtue ethics and its significance in moral philosophy. We also learned all about the historical background, and the influences of the beliefs different Philosophers had. Plato believed virtue is an inherent quality that could be developed through education and self-learning. Meanwhile, Aristotle proposes are acquired through practice. Aristotle also states that the excellence of character is the most essential part of being a virtuous person.

The theory of virtue is the ancient assumption that humans have a fixed natural essence - and the only way we can thrive is if we adhere to that nature. Being ethically virtuous means being truthful and courageous. Virtue is a skill that can only be learned through an individual's experience. It means knowing where to build boundaries, knowing how to deliver hard truths in a graceful manner rather than in a way that’s harsh or cruel.

Rights Theory serves as a philosophical justification advocating for the protection of individual interests through the recognition of fundamental rights. This involves the concept of equality, where every person should be treated fairly without discrimination. Life refers to the value of human existence. Liberty is the freedom of individuals to make decisions on their own, as well as the right to express themselves and their beliefs.

Aristotle theory idea that there are rare individuals who have mastered the art of being a person - they are confident yet humble, brave yet cautious, and generous without being extravagant.

Virtue ethics and right theory are the topics in our discussion. By practicing virtue ethics, one cultivates an honorable and moral character. Examples of these virtues include being brave, honest, generous, and so on. To put it briefly, virtue ethics aids in the development of our moral character as well as the formation of positive habits. Also, Aristotle said that if we are contented enough and happy about the things we do it's called "Eudaimonia" However, right theory was also presented. We have both positive and negative rights, as well as a right to leave. It also asserts that everyone has rights. As an example, Ma'am told us that your children had a right to food, or that we all have a right to food. To put it briefly, a right theory is a legitimate assertion that people or organizations can make about other people, according to which one's rights imply another's obligations.

The absolute biggest point I came across today that I really let brew inside me while I was coming home from Antipolo was the fact that rights are intertwined with power dynamics and must absolutely be exercised lest the powers at be violate them causing a domino effect

The second point was the other side of the coin in terms of morality where instead of explaining the bare minimum there's a way where you can be the best you can be and a rational incentive to it

In our discussion today on virtue ethics and natural law, we explored how developing good habits is essential for building moral character, as these habits influence our decision-making. We were encouraged to consider the broader picture rather than just focusing on short-term goals, as our character shapes the choices we’re willing to make. Taking small steps—like learning from our mistakes and thoughtfully reflecting on them—helps shape who we become.

Today, I learned about Virtue Ethics. Virtue ethics focusses on an individual's character rather than his or her actions (or their consequences). Virtue ethics taught me about honesty, courage, generosity, fairness, and self-control. In our life we need that kind of characters and always choose to be kind no matter what. That's the main goal of virtue ethics.

For this week, we have discussed about "Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory".

During the course of the several hour online class session, numerous slides were shown detailing various theories of rights and virtue ethics.

One of these lessons were a focus on Positive Rights and Negative Rights. How both are needed from one other and how both of these rights clash with one against the other.

There was also Natural Rights and Human Rights but the concept has faced harsh criticism by notable critics such as Jeremy Bentham and various Marxist and Feminist critics.

Today, we talked about Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory.

Virtue Ethics is about building a good character without the influence of rules, laws, and morals. This is natural in the essence humans. Even though certain rules doesn't apply, we must analyze the situation before taking any actions as subtle decision can lead to negative consequences.

Rights Theory theory focuses on the individual and allowing the individual to do what he wants. It states basic human rights. These includes, life, liberty, happiness, equality, freedom of speech, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's discussion taught us that virtue ethics has evolved into a focus on the rule of character, which states that behavior stems from a good life and good character, which brings happiness and the ability to make decisions. The right theory emphasizes moral and human rights, which guarantee that freedom and well-being will be protected. We learn the importance of staying true to our principles and ourselves, and we become more responsible in our decision-making.

In today’s lesson, we learned about Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory.

Virtue Ethics focuses on the role of character and virtues in moral philosophy, which considers what it means to be a good person. It includes moral behavior, character traits, and moral development.

Rights Theory focuses on the individual rights and moral principles of a person, which include the three rights that we already have: the right to life, liberty, and property, as well as the rights that cannot be taken away easily by anyone and are protected by law.

I’ve learned from today’s discussion how important virtue to one person. Because this can help us to live a better and meaningful life. And how Plato and Aristotle believed that cultivating good traits was the key to living a moral life. I also learned from today’s discussion how we should value our rights, because that is one of the things that people can’t take away from us. And also how important decision-making affects us a person. Making decision can help people understand what kind of character and understanding we have as a person. Because when we decide for something, we must first know how it will affects us and to others. It is important to do things that we believe are right, than making decisions that others decide for us.

I learned that Virtue ethics focus on improving person character to be virtues rather than following a set of rules, just like what aristotle and other virtues theorist reasoned that if we can just focus on being good people, the right actions will follow effortlessly

But my favorite part in the discussion is the topic about Courage, it said that the Courageous person will assess the situation, you need to think first about your own abilities before you take action that is right in the particular situation, courage also means doing the right things that you know your capable of even if doing it scares you

In this discussion, I can relate to virtue ethics because it emphasizes our traits and moral behavior. I realize that I have grown as a person, which encourages me to make better decisions in life. It also reminds me to always consider the outcomes of my actions. Understanding this topic helps me become more aware and sensitive to my actions, especially since everyone has different sensitivities. Overall, this discussion inspires us to shape ourselves and aim to be better person

For today’s lesson, I learned about Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory. Virtue Ethics emphasizes the importance of personal character and how we can improve ourselves. It encourages us to understand what we believe is right and to know when and how to act. The focus is on being open-minded and compassionate as we shape our character.

We explored how virtues help us navigate different situations, sometimes even requiring us to challenge rules for the greater good or to achieve our goals. Rights Theory, on the other hand, focuses on individual rights like life, liberty, and freedom of speech. We also discussed Positive and Negative Rights, which can conflict with each other, reminding us of the complexity in balancing personal desires with others' rights. Overall, this week’s lessons helped me grasp the significance of character development and the interplay of rights in our decisions and actions.

In today's lesson, we discussed virtue ethics and rights theory. I have learned that virtue ethics is a moral philosophy focusing on a person's having good traits towards others by being honest, courageous, and generous. And virtue is a skill that can only be learned through our experience. Eudaimonia simply means to achieve success, even if it is hard. Perhaps we have to push ourselves to be able to fulfill our happiness.

Right theory is about our freedom to voice out or do what we want. This promotes giving fair treatment to everyone. But we should still be responsible in decision-making and accountable for our actions to avoid violating others freedom.

I learned today's discussion that virtue ethics is about developing positive habits and virtues, such as courage and compassion, to guide our actions.

On today’s lesson, I learned about Virtue and the Right Theory.

Virtue ethics emphasizes the importance of developing good character traits (virtues) as the foundation for ethical behavior. It focuses on what kind of person you are, rather than just the actions you take. Also we learned that Aristotle and Plato made their own definition. Aristotle believed that virtues are habits developed through practice and are the means to achieve eudaimonia while Plato believed that virtue is knowledge and that understanding the nature of moral virtues is necessary for being virtuous. For Rights theory, it focuses on the inherent entitlements individuals possess, regardless of their actions or characteristics. It emphasizes individual freedom and protection from violations by others, including the state.

For this lesson, I’ve learned that virtue ethics is a moral philosophy that emphasizes the importance of our character as a person and our virtue in moral reasoning, rather than focusing only on the rules or consequences of it. And also it was believed that to live a food life or to have a good life, means developing good character traits or good virtues, such as honesty, respect, courage and the like. And I’ve realized that character really matters, that focusing on your character could led you to have a good life, form good relationships with people and have moral development. Overall, I’ve learned that virtue encourages us to strive for personal growth, and be a better person.

# data[].attributes.body
What I realized is everydau virtue ethics applies and when you did a good thing to others beingva good person will flow effortless. You are free to live, you have a right to liberty, and property. You are free to do everything you want but always remember that you nees to have your limitations.

Today's synchronous class topic is about Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory.

Virtue Ethics significantly impacts how individuals approach moral decision-making. I have learned that Virtue ethics emphasizes and individuals character or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than at ethical duties and rules, or the consequences of particular actions. On the other hand, Right Theory stating that everyone has rights arising simply from being born—the right to life, maximum individual liberty, and human dignity are all fundamental rights. Both topics helps in decision-making and helps us to think critically.

# data[].attributes.body
In today’s discussion about Virtue Ethics and Rights Theory, I learned how important both character and individual rights are in ethics. Virtue Ethics, based on Aristotle’s ideas, encourages us to develop good traits like honesty and kindness. This approach shows that being ethical isn’t just about following rules; it’s about becoming a better person. Rights Theory focuses on protecting individual rights and fairness, which is essential for justice in society. It emphasizes that everyone deserves respect and dignity.

# data[].attributes.body
My knowledge gained from this lesson:

Virtue Ethics places the focus on the individual’s character rather than merely on the rules or outcomes of actions. According to this theory, the morality of an action depends on whether it reflects the virtues that a good person would demonstrate. Aristotle, a key figure in virtue ethics, argued that the ultimate goal of life is to achieve eudaimonia, or flourishing, which comes from developing virtues like courage, wisdom, and fairness. This approach helps me realize that being a good person is an ongoing journey of self-improvement.

In contrast, Rights Theory emphasizes the actions themselves and how they align with moral rules or lead to positive outcomes. Critics of virtue ethics often point out that it can be vague when determining what actions are right or wrong, especially in complex situations where virtues might conflict. Understanding these different approaches helps me see that moral decision-making is multifaceted, and balancing character development with adherence to rules can lead to a more comprehensive understanding of ethics.

One key takeaway for me is that ethics is not just about following rules; it's really about personal growth and understanding ourselves better. This perspective encourages me to think about how my character shapes my choices and how I can strive to be a better person. It emphasizes that cultivating virtues like honesty and compassion is essential for living a meaningful life.

I learned about of how focus on moral development and the idea that good morals are a result of habituation, leading to a virtuous life, not one of rule following Rights theory is concerned with individual rights and liberties that are morally or legally justified, and is often associated with philosophers such as John Locke and more recently with the legal philosopher Ronald Dworkin. It postulates that man has rights-natural rights, such as to life, liberty, and property-which others, including the government, should respect. In the theory of rights, much emphasis is given to the protection of individual autonomy, and it often forms a basis on which most jurisprudence, legal frameworks, or social justice movements emanate. What that means is that the theory of rights tends to focus on respect for individual freedom and equality and, as such, is particularly appropriate in debates about civil liberties and justice. In short, while virtue ethics focuses on developing good personal character and pursuing moral excellence, rights theory focuses on protecting individual freedoms and rights. Side by side, they might constitute a well-rounded vision of ethics that takes into consideration respect for both individual character and social justice in equal measure.

I learned in this class that there are many types of virtue ethics. Greenhouse talked about eudaimonia, where people learn when they know someone who applies to things, for example, when they want to learn about the street. Still, you don't trust Google Maps too much, which is why you find help from a friend who can teach you the places you want to go. I also realized that we have the right theory, but in a certain situation, it doesn't mean you have the will or the right to speak out. That is considered right; furthermore, we have a golden mean that helps us to think rationally in certain situations in life. And special thanks to Aristotle for teaching us this kind of perspective for us to learn in the future.

What I have learned in the class today is what is Virtue ethics.

Virtue ethics is the moral theory that focuses on a person’s character and moral traits, rather than their actions or duties.

In today's discussion, I have realized that being too much or too low when it comes to being a moral person because we must just weigh the fairness of the two. As for the examples shown in the video we watched earlier, it can lead to risk for us or to other people involved. Like, if we just drove in our fight response when we saw a burglary and did not think or weigh the situation of ourselves, it can lead to much more risks. Moreover,  Eudaimonia is a new concept for me that I think I should dig deeper into as it has interesting definitions, and I think it should be in my practice. And lastly, we must also be a person who is a just, morally right and fair for ourselves and to others.

I learned the cultivate our moral character and we develop our good morals by habitual. and we talked about the virtue ethics and moral rights not only for individuals but also for everyone. and it taught me a lot in terms of being good in morals and virtue.

In today’s session, I learned that Virtue Ethics is about being a good person by developing positive traits like kindness and honesty, and making decisions based on your character.

Together, they teach us to be good individuals and to respect everyone's rights to create a fair and just society.
