A quick definition of virtue ethics:

Virtue ethics is a way of thinking about what is right and wrong. Instead of just looking at what someone does or what happens because of their actions, it focuses on the kind of person they are. This idea comes from a philosopher named Aristotle, who wrote about it a long time ago. It's different from another way of thinking about ethics called consequentialism, which looks at the results of actions instead of the person doing them.

A more thorough explanation:

Virtue ethics is an ethical theory that emphasizes the importance of a person's character rather than the nature of their actions or the consequences of those actions. This approach was first introduced by Aristotle in his book, Ethics.

For example, a person who practices virtue ethics would focus on developing good character traits such as honesty, kindness, and courage, rather than simply following a set of rules or laws. They believe that by cultivating these virtues, a person will naturally make ethical decisions and act in a morally responsible way.

Another example of virtue ethics in action is the concept of role models. Virtue ethicists believe that having positive role models can help individuals develop good character traits and make ethical decisions. For instance, a young athlete may look up to a professional athlete who demonstrates qualities such as hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship.
