A good person is someone who lives virtuously - who possesses and lives the virtues.In that way, virtue ethics is concerned with the whole of a person's life, rather than particular episodes or actions. Virtue ethics not only deals with the rightness or wrongness of individual actions, it provides guidance as to the sort of characteristics and behaviours a good person will seek to achieve. Virtue ethics is person rather than action based: it looks at the virtue or moral character of the person carrying out an action, rather than at ethical duties and rules, or the consequences of particular actions. A right act is the action a virtuous person would do in the same circumstances.
