1Virtue ethics is the idea of what is moral must come from what a mature person with good "moral character" would deem right. This theory is a [blank_start]teleological[blank_end] theory, meaning that it is concerned with the end of the action, so what you do must produce the most moral act in the end rather than during the doing of an action. It is an [blank_start]agent centered[blank_end] theory meaning that an act is virtuous if a virtuous person would do it; moral valuation of an act is determined by the quality of the agent performing the action. It is concerned with producing excellent persons, this is the idea of [blank_start]Arete,[blank_end] which is all about the [blank_start]excellence[blank_end] of a character. Virtue ethics is about developing people to becoming more moral and encourages human flourishing. We can associate this with the idea of [blank_start]eudaimonia[blank_end] which is what is associated with what makes humans happy and the conditions in which we flourish. This theory is linked with people like [blank_start]Aristotle[blank_end]. Within this theory he came up with an idea called [blank_start]The Golden Mean,[blank_end] which was his term for describing ethical behavior as a midpoint between extremes. Another person linked with Virtue Ethics was [blank_start]Plato[blank_end].
