1. Discuss Cowardice in life.

It is already in the nature of a person that he or she is going to battle with his or her fear. Being a
coward is the one who rejects and fears every challenge in life failed to defend himself in a
vigorous standpoint. For instance, there is an athlete in a certain sport event who backs out in
joining for he is afraid of being failed. This is because he failed many times before and never
tried winning even being just a placer. This attribute best exemplifies cowardice in life because
the person failed to overcome his fear rather than fighting it. Moreover, the teaching of Aristotle
points out that there is indeed a deficiency on people with this kind people. Having the act of
grouchiness, stinginess, easily irritated or being short tempered. However, he also cited that in
order for a person to overcome his fear or being coward, he must be mentally rational and
requires reason to attain intellectual and moral virtue. As a result, this could be his weapon for
himself to resolve his deficiency.

2. Discuss Recklessness in life.


Recklessness is considered as a vice in the context of virtue ethics. A vice
means a conduct, or propensity for the most part thought to be improper, evil,
impolite, corrupted, debasing, degenerate or distorted in the related society.
In more minor use, bad habit can allude to say the least, a negative person
attribute, an imperfection, an ailment, or an awful or undesirable propensity.
As a result, a person who has this attribute becomes extravagant and out of
emotion as opposed to the definition of cowardice. For example, a criminal or
a snatcher who has been detained for how many times and still doing his
crime as he went out from jail. This best identifies the act of recklessness in
life. Even if it risks his life, safety, and dignity, he would still assert himself to
do such. In this manner, the person tend to have lack of being rational and
virtuous. Also, as mentioned in Aristotle’s teaching that happiness requires
virtue and therefore this kind of man don’t have the happiness for he is not
even virtuous in his own.
