The idea
Virtue ethics changes the leading question: not "which acts are right" but "what kind of person should I be" — right action flows from good character.
In practice
Two neighbors return the same lost wallet — one gladly, one grudging every step. Act-focused theories grade one act; virtue ethics sees two characters.
