moral laws, such as “Don’t lie. Don’t steal. Don’t
cheat.”

Don’t lie. Don’t steal. Don’t

cheat.”

acquire virtue through practice. By practicing being honest,
brave, just, generous, and so on, a person develops an
honorable and moral character. According to Aristotle, by
honing virtuous habits, people will likely make the right choice
when faced with ethical challenges.
