A virtue is a desirable trait that between kindness and cowardice an ethic is like a rule or a decision. To make good or cowardly decisions is what an virtue ethic is. A bad ethic can ruin somebodies with fact that these ethical decisions are made when somebody is in trouble or pain. Good ethics are extreme decsions in protecting the harmed even when it means killing or injuring yourself. My best example would be from the true story turned movie about RED Navy Seals sent to kill an Isis leader and they came across villagers and decided not to kill them because they were young and that cost 3 out of the four men their lives. In the process of dying they saved the fourth dude while aware they were about to kill themselves doing so. Best movies ever! Called Lone Survivor. If there is anything that resembles virtue ethics its what the Arabian guy and his village did to help the lone soldier, putting his life in danger. Hopefully you can summarize off of what I said.

Virtue ethics is an approach that deemphasizes rules, consequences and particular acts and places the focus on the kind of person who is acting. The issue is not primarily whether an intention is right, though that is important; nor is it primarily whether one is following the correct rule; nor is it primarily whether the consequences of action are good, though these factors are not irrelevant.

What is primary is whether the person acting is expressing good character (moral virtues) or not.

A person's character is the totality of his character traits. Our character traits can be good, bad or somewhere in between. They can be admirable or not. The admirable character traits, the marks of perfection in character, are called virtues, their opposites are vices.

Character traits are

<span>1) dispositions or habit-like tendencies that are deeply entrenched or engrained. They have been referred to as second nature--"first nature" referring to tendencies with which we are born. Character traits are not innate--we were not born with them. Thus infants are neither virtuous nor vicious.2) formed as a result of more or less freely selected actions of a certain kind. We are not born honest or liars, but we become so by repeatedly telling the truth or by repeatedly lying.</span>

Moral Virtues :

<span>1) are admirable character traits; generally desirable dispositions, which contribute, among other things, to social harmonyCraft knowledge is a technical virtue specific to a particular line of work (rhetoric or the art of effective persuasion, the housebuilder's art, the computer programmer's art, the accountant's art). The moral virtues have a more general scope.2) enable us to act in accordance with reasonYou cannot be morally reasonable in the fullest sense, you cannot have the virtue called prudence, unless you are morally virtuous. The person who is not morally virtuous is sometimes ruled by his or her appetites or passions. Her emotions get in the way of doing the reasonable thing or even recognizing what the reasonable thing might be.3) enable us to feel appropriately and have the right intentionThe person whose character is less than virtuous may do what looks, from the outside, like the right thing to do, but her motives will leave something to be desired. A truthful person will usually tell the truth, and he will do so because it is the right thing to do, not because he fears the negative consequences of being found out.4) are orientations towards the mean, rather than the extremes (vices relate to extremes).<span>In Aristotle's famous study of character, a frequent theme is the fact that a virtue lies between two vices. The virtue of courage, for example, lies between the vices of rashness and cowardice. The coward has too much fear, or fear when he should have none. The rash person has too little fear and excessive confidence. The courageous person has the right amount.While courage is the virtue related to the emotions of fear and confidence, mildness is the virtue related to anger. A person who gets angry too quickly will be irascible; a person who never gets angry, even when she should, is inirascible (the term does not matter). The virtuous person will get angry when she should, but not excessively and not contrary to reason. Aristotle calls the virtue of appropriate anger mildness or gentleness.</span></span>
