Describe how an ethic of virtue can enhance the principles of utilitarianism, rights, justice, and caring

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Answer: An ethic of virtue is not a fifth kind of moral principle but supports the principles of utilitarianism, rights, justice, and caring. An ethic of virtue adds to these principles by looking at the character people are required to have. An ethic of virtue will look at the other virtues people need to have in order to adhere to their moral principles when feelings or desires tempt them to make less ethical decisions. An ethic of virtue addresses issues related to motivation and feelings that have traditionally been ignored by ethics of principles.
