Virtue Ethics is the ethical theory which appeals to me the most because of identification of the importance of imbibing specific virtues. There can also be identification of personality and character types required to be imbibed by me to become a virtuous and ethical individual in all real-life situations. Consequences can be bad even if a virtuous individual might try to do something good for an individual. For example, there can be an individual (adhering to Virtue Ethics) showing selflessness by trying to save the life another individual who might be drowning in water.
