Aristotle virtues of character account
Aristotle upholds the belief that a person who practices honesty,
generosity, and being brave advances to a moral character (Ross
1). As such, there are moral virtues of liberality, temperance,
and courage. Virtue depicts the acting habituation since an
individual understands that the embraced actions impact others
in either a positive or negative manner. Therefore, an effort can
only be virtuous when it is executed voluntarily. The execution
of the action is tied to the perception that an individual
develops concerning the surrounding environment and
interaction with other social systems. When a person engages in
completing an act using different methods that include fear, it is
considered non-voluntary. An individual is deemed to be
virtuous when he or she posses the virtues of character and
intellect in addition to moral virtues. The intellectual virtue that
a person develops is wisdom, which is involved in governing
ethical understanding and behaviour of an individual. The
expression of this virtue of comprehension is exhibited through
scientific contemplation and endeavour.
Aristotle embraces the view that when an individual
develops a feeling to another person, these feelings are
dependent on the circumstances that prevail. The right amount
of emotions exists between the extremities (Aristotle 7).

2. Examples of these extremes is that of rashness that involves
cowardice and courage. However, some extremes possess high
levels of likeness. For example, fear is far from indiscretion as
compared to a nerve. The virtues that a person develops are
based on the ability to copy and practice moral standards until
the attribute is internalized. A person becomes courageous
through practicing courage and temperate by embrace
temperance. The implication of this is that virtue is through
nature, and individuals develop moral virtues as they interact
with different systems in the environment.
Hill view on environmental respect
Hill's focus has been the character, which is depicted by
the treatment that human beings accord the environment. He
utilizes ethical virtue as the tool for examining the role of a
person while addressing different environmental issues (Hill 1).
Virtue ethics refers to the habit exhibited on an action based on
voluntary or willing choice. Therefore, an individual who
engages in littering the environment does not care about nature.
Such a person is regarded as inconsiderate on the aspect of the
character.
Hill asks what type of person would engage in environmental
destruction. He sees that individuals who engage in ecological
damage have a deficiency of some traits. Further, harms to
violations of rights and humans are considered as practical
means of opposing the destruction of the environment (Hill 7).
Hence, environmental ethics can be addressed if individuals
shift their focus from action rightness to moral character. Such
is because individuals who do not respect the environment have
a deficiency of gratitude virtue.
Comparison of Hill and Aristotle views on the virtues of
character

3. The opinions of Hill are similar to Aristotle since they both
indicate that the wrong or right of human action is based on the
nature of an individual. The developed trait acts as a reflective
piece of who people are in society. The difference in the
perspectives of these scholars emerges where Hill claims that an
individual can destroy the environment because of having a
defect in character. Thus, Aristotle and Hill differ on how they
propose others to be treated in the natural environment.
