Answer 1

Answer:a. What kind of a person should I be?

Explanation:

Virtue ethics is based on a person rather than what a person does; it examines the virtue or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than the consequences of their actions.

At the end of the day it is the person that you choose to be that will determine what action you will get yourself involved in.

Virtue ethics doesn't solely look at the wrongness or rightness of an individual actions but it guides the individual towards achieving characters and behaviours that will make them a good person.

This means that virtue ethics is focused on the person as a whole rather than certain episodes of their actions.

It helps a person examine their character rather being inclined to examine other people's character which is what we mostly do as people .

This theory suggest that if we could have certain characteristics that makes us good people it would be good in our society.
