Virtue Ethics and the Role of Character in Moral Education
Quick fact
Aristotle argued that virtues like honesty and courage are not innate but are developed through habit and practice over time, much like learning to play a musical instrument. This means that ethical education is about forming character, not just memorizing rules.
Why this is interesting
You've probably heard that practice makes perfect, but did you know it also makes you a better person? Virtue ethics claims that your character—your moral 'muscle'—is built through repeated actions, much like training for a sport.
