Virtue ethics is a theory that de-emphasizes rules, consequences, and particular acts and focuses on the type of person who acts. It is a moral system based on the individual and focuses on character traits. It does not take into account religion, society or culture, but above all the individual's choice in situations. This theory does not provide a set of rules for what to do, but rather emphasizes the question, “How should one become a better person?” The focus of the theory is the attempt to create good, virtuous human beings. It focuses not on right and wrong actions, but on good and bad choices. Aristotle, the creator and primary philosopher of virtue ethics, originally introduced his theory in Ancient Greek. Virtue ethics derives from Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics (Thiroux). Aristotle's views on social philosophy suggest that there are certain qualities and characteristics. Until we create ethical or virtuous people, the likelihood of creating a moral society is slim (Thiroux). Virtue ethics seeks to teach human beings that we should practice virtuous acts in order to create habitually or virtuous people who will then remain and continue to act virtuous. Aristotle states that the human being begins with a capacity for good, which develops with practice and use (Thiroux). To become a better person, we must regularly practice virtuous acts. After a while, these acts will become a habit, further making them a part of our daily lives. Once these habits become part of our daily use and lifestyle, then we begin to lead a virtuous life. Those who practice virtuous acts improve their abilities, thus becoming happier (Aristotle). We are not born with these skills, they are skills acquired with time and practice. People are not born good or bad, but become good or bad depending on the habits they develop throughout their lives. We gain skills by observing others around us and from
