natalie helps her brother move into his new home.
how might a virtue - based ethicist classify this action?
- impermissible
- obligatory
- neutral
- supererogatory
Virtue-based ethics focuses on developing good character traits like kindness and generosity. Helping a sibling move is not a required moral duty (obligatory), nor is it wrong (impermissible) or morally neutral. It is an action that goes beyond basic duty, demonstrating virtuous qualities, which fits the definition of supererogatory actions—actions that are praiseworthy but not mandatory.
