PHI 208 Ethics and Moral Reasoning

An important aspect of Aristotle's virtue ethics is the idea that virtues are "habits" that we acquire over time, and like any habit, virtues affect not just what we do, but our desires and emotions as well. Focusing on either Hill's article or Robinson's article, how might this be important when discussing environmental ethics or military ethics? Focus your discussion on just one of those, but feel free to discuss the other in reply to other people's posts. How would a virtue ethicist reply to someone who says that they wish they could do more to express concern for the environment or be more courageous, but are too "weak willed" to do that? Use examples from the assigned media when appropriate.
