Virtue ethics espouses that:
a. people are born virtuous
b. people's actions are based on moral virtues
c. virtues such as truthfulness develop over time
d. whatever a person thinks is right
C
Virtue ethics contends that virtues such as truthfulness and trustworthiness develop over time, and that an individual's character must be developed (i.e., one is not born with this) by nature and habit. Therefore, the person will be predisposed to behaving and living virtuously. Actions based on morals and unchanging principles are characteristic of deontological thinking. Whatever the person thinks is right is an example of relativism.
