The great Aristotle declared, “We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly.” Virtue should be defined as perfect or righteous. However, it can be argued that because Ransom is a man, and man is sinful, he could not choose to be virtuous. Because this is the case, and man is inherently sinful as Jesus said in Matthew, “No one is good but One, that is, God” (Mark 10:18), we will adapt Merriam Webster’s definition of virtue, “Conformity to a standard of right, morality. A particular moral excellence” (merriam-webster.com).
Bob Blecher is ecstatic to find that his burger joint is about to make its ceremonial preparation of its 100,000th burger, until controversial animal activist documenter Randy Watkins introduces bob to Moolisa, a steer with a blonde wig that will be used to make his 100,00th burger stating “We’ll see what your conscience tells you when you’re looking your burger right in the eye” (Bob’s Burgers).

A virtue is a desirable characteristic rather than a universal law or rule that should ultimately lead to individual flourishment as well as the betterment of humanity. Incidentally, engineers can use virtues such as competence, honesty, and temperance in order to attain a state of responsible professionalism. This status essentially parallels some of the claims listed in the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Engineering Code of Ethics such as the statement “an engineer, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public” (NSPE, 2007). With an inherent desire to be virtuous, engineers can learn to better themselves in order to better society. In this paper, through Aristotle’s understanding of virtue ethics, I plan to demonstrate the virtues I have acquired during my time at Texas A&M University and the virtues specifically relevant to civil engineering.
“Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it (author anonymous).” Virtue is defined by Webster Online Dictionary as a conformity to a standard of right, a particular moral excellence. As Christians, we are instructed to stand apart from this dark and ominous world, to be a light in the darkness. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.” The question then becomes, is averting evil enough to generate a virtuous person or must it be an active choice?
The Dao is the “Way”, a principle that embodies a harmonious relationship with the natural order of the Heavens and Earth. It is the way of nature and flows from all natural process. Knowing how to follow Dao is difficult because there is no specific method, it is nameless, and unfathomable, however it is intuitable. The de of the Dao is the virtue and a kind of power in tune with the way. Being in tune with the way is accomplished through the qualities of nature’s way and the moral power to advance towards the way.
Theoretical virtues are said to be traits that are representative of virtues pertaining to theories, beliefs, and hypotheses. Since time immemorial, philosophers of science have undertaken multiple methodologies that use these theoretical virtues as a collective to establish an objective standard, which is further used to compare theories in order to sought out which theory is the most competent. However, even though this methodology has been practiced repeatedly over the years, a certain issue that always arises is that there has to be a distinction made between two types of theoretical values: cognitive and pragmatic. A virtue is said to be cognitive when it is indicative of the truth or is the truth. This is different from when a theory
Virtue means moral goodness. Personal virtue is when someone has characteristics that are instilled in them to perform that moral goodness. Many ancient texts from Eurasian civilizations constantly describe the "good person. " The documents are drawn from Confucian, Hindu, Greek, and Christian tradition, and they all include information on the "good life" and what makes a "good person." Each text has a different idea of a "good person" and the definition of personal virtue.
Virtues are the moral standards that are needed in every society as they solve different types of cultural, political, and social issues. For instance, many societies like the Kurdish have long struggled with one of their biggest issue which’s having a corrupted and an unorganized government running their country. Thus, virtues like transcendence and humanity could be a solution but what mainly will solve it is having justice. Transcendence is the idea of having hope, gratitude, self-appreciation, humor, and spirituality in a society to achieve a better, healthier and a more optimistic culture.
The relativist’s objection Aristotle’s writings are the best prototype of virtue ethics. Contemporary virtue theories do not grasp nor represents the Aristotelian theory, because they think that it is impossible to escape the charge of relativism in virtue ethics. According to the relativist approach, ethical goodness is relative to each society depending on its traditions and practices. It is thought that virtue can only be outlined locally with reference to a single locale. Relativists reject the idea that there is a general rule, based on specific virtuous actions, that leads to the good life i.e. they reject that there is a single virtue (or norm of flourishing life) that is able to flourish the life of all human beings.
The idea of virtue ethics was first introduced to the world by Aristotle over 2,300 years ago in 325 BC (Rachels 173). Virtue ethics operate on the belief that people develop good character by looking at the virtues they admire in other people and emulating them. In order to do this, a person must ask themselves what kind of person they want to be and focus on choosing characteristics not specific people to emulate. Unfortunately, virtue ethics were quickly overshadowed by other perspectives on ethical theory as Christianity gained popularity and values changed. As time went on people stopped asking themselves, “What traits make a good person?”
The virtue theory, which pursues virtuous principles, strategies and actions, can lead companies to understand their values, including mission, purpose, profit potential and other objectives. Virtuous employees tend to perform their roles consistently and competently in the direction of the company's goals. Virtues are the kind of thing you allow someone to take action to appreciate. Business people increase their likelihood of reaching their values and goals when they reach Objectivist virtues. Virtues emphasize the importance of each employee's valuable contribution.
Virtue ethics started drawing attention since the modern ethics exposed its limitation and reconsideration about the priority was needed. Contemporary ethics focus on “What we should do”, instead of “What kind of person we should do”. In consequence, the moral codes in modern era solely emphasizes moral duty and rules, while neglecting personality and character of individuals. Virtue ethics support the traditional criterion that consider moral virtue and personality of individuals as important. The virtue of good engineer includes creativity, good understanding of culture, morality, and capability of communication.
