| dc.description.abstract | Human action over the years have been controversial and sometimes intolerable, there has been a conflict of actions and behavioral attitudes which has evoked untold consequences. From ancient times, philosophers and scholars have propounded thoughts on what exists as the most desirable traits of human. They are all concerned with humans’ right attitude, good habits, passions and conduct that govern their actions according to human reason. Nevertheless, certain moral virtues are found and acceptable across all cultures such as the Yoruba and the Chinese. These moral virtues and values are universally acceptable as standards of human nature and its inherent needs. This work aims to examine the moral virtues as depicted by two cultures in the context of Omolúàbí and Junzi respectively. Data for this research work were obtained through homogenous purpose sampling and content analysis was used to study this work. Certain factors such as temperance, wisdom, justice, patience, perseverance and humility were selected for study in this research work. It adopts Aristotle’s Nicomachean theory of ethics to understudy this work. It ascertains that people can be virtuous or learn to be virtuous, he also argues that human virtue portrays bodily and soul excellence while exhibiting intellectual and moral virtues. This paper argues that the virtuous being in Yoruba and Chinese cultures is one who exhibits practical wisdom, acts rightly, humble and kind to his fellow human beings. It argues that virtue across cultures can be universal and humans should strive to attain or achieve them. It discerns that if humans want to succeed, they must have moral excellence that support their collective wellbeing. This work concludes that our societies are built on moral standards and humans must strive to attain them | en_US |
