Ethics Reflection

The ethical philosophy that most deeply resonated with me was probably virtue ethics. This is because it aligns most closely with the kind of ethics that I have been taught my whole life and am most familiar with. I believe that if something is not moral, it is not morally right. Virtue ethics states that everything that you do must be virtuous, and morally good. I think that this makes sense, and is the most simple theory for me to be able to follow. I agreed with the example discussed in the presentation, where they said that if someone had scratched your car and you couldn't hear them, would you still curse them out? I agreed that I wouldn't curse them out, because even though they couldn't hear, it was still rude and was not virtuous. I think that everyone should strive to be the best person that they can be -- even when they know that nobody is watching. To me this seems like the most simplistic way of governign your behavior and your ethics.
