VIRTUE ETHICSA DIARY OF ANASTACIA ALBINDA In this article “On Virtue Ethics”, Rosalind Hursthouse attempts to formulate and defend her moral philosophy of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics against its rivals utilitarianism and deontology. She is also interested in refuting claims that virtue ethics cannot give us direction on what to do in a particular situation because it emphasizes character building. He does this by saying that there are claims that virtue ethics cannot be a true rival to utilitarianism and deontology (often called duty ethics), because virtue ethics is “agent-centered” rather that “What kind of actions should I do?” " These claims state that ethical theories should be able to tell us about right actions as utilitarianism and deontology do. However, he reacts by saying that virtue ethics states that right action is one action among those available. It is an action that a virtuous human being would perform characteristically in the circumstances in which he finds himself. He then goes on to say that with virtue ethics the agent is one who has and exercises certain character traits that are virtues Virtue is a character trait that a human being needs to thrive in life.

My Filipino father taught me respect, the ability to work hard, and the need for a family. My American mother taught me about volunteerism, creativity, empathy, the need for friends and how to have a fun life. So I would say I'm well-rounded, but not perfect, as far as personality and my understanding of what rights are and aren't. If human rights organizations also want to be comprehensive, they should not limit themselves to collecting suggestions only from Western countries. There should be constant discussion.
