Virtue Ethics
Captions available
The idea
Virtue ethics changes the question: not "what should I do?" but "what kind of person should I be?"—right action flows from good character.
In practice
Aristotle's model: the honest person tells the truth the way the trained musician plays in tune—reliably, from formed disposition.
