The best index to
a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do
him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight
back.--Abigail van Buren
Moral character or
character is an evaluation of a particular
individual's durable moral
qualities. The concept of character
can imply a variety of attributes including the
existence or lack of virtues
such as integrity,
courage,
fortitude,
honesty,
and loyalty,
or of good behaviors or habits.
Moral character primarily refers to the
assemblage of qualities that distinguish one
individual from another - although on a cultural
level, the set of moral behaviors to which a
social group adheres can be said to unite and
define it culturally as distinct from others.
Psychologist Lawrence Pervin defines moral
character as "a disposition to express behavior
in consistent patterns of functions across a
range of situations" (Pervin 1994, p. 108). Source: Wikipedia
