Moral character significantly influences moral behavior by making it easier and more willing for individuals to perform moral actions. Furthermore, individuals with moral character are better at recognizing moral situations, whereas those lacking it often fail to identify morally relevant aspects of their circumstances. This dual role of moral character highlights its importance in ethical decision-making.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MORAL ACTS AND CHARACTER:

I argued that moral character is relevant to moral behavior in two important


ways. First, given that I am already aware of what I ought to do (i.e, of what
the “moral” action is), moral character facilitates doing that action. The
person who has moral character does moral actions more readily — more
easily and more willingly than one who does not.

I also argued that moral character matters in a second, much more


fundamental way: the person who has moral character is able to recognize
what is moral and occasions for moral behavior in a way that those who lack
moral character cannot. Those who lack moral character often fail to act
morally because they simply fail, in many instances, to recognize the morally
relevant aspects of the situations they find themselves in (Knobel, 2019).
