The Principles Of Virtue Ethics

Virtue ethics is an application of ethics in our daily lives. We claim ourselves to be humans, basically homo sapiens who have brains and can think logically or rationally. When we make decisions it is based on the previous judgments of our thought process or on the events occurred in the past, distinctions also the experiences from which we gained any little information or understanding. When we use our human mind to integrate the process of living by making rational decisions in life, we always question ourselves who we are, or why are we thinking this way, what will be the benefit of me making such decision or rationalizing, or what are my principle or rules for myself. what do I ought to feel is good or bad. the difference I make in my mind is built on the set construction of ourselves.

The principles of our daily lives makes our conscious thinking ours. It’s like my thinking or my rules for life makes me. if I am to say, that virtues or morals that I possess in my course of conduct/actions are mines, then I have to be fully accountable for the decisions I am making in my life. When we work in the office we treat people based on our set of virtues, we tend to define or conduct our action as virtuous or not virtuous based on what principles I have for myself. I don’t always abide by rule-based work performance, instead, I look to the basic problems and issues faced by my clients, subordinates or someone at home whom I am responsible for.
