Virtue ethics is a type of way of looking at how people should act. It starts with the idea that people should try to have good character traits like being kind or brave. Being a virtuous person means not just doing the right thing, but also doing it for the right reasons. The idea is that if you act with good character traits, then you will be likely to make the right decisions even in difficult situations. For example, a brave person might choose to stand up for what’s right even when it’s not popular.
