1) Our character traits are easily modified, almost on a day-to-day basis if we so choose.

Explanation:

A theory that focuses more on character than actions and is more interested in the question of which actions are correct and which are wrong, and the Ethics of Virtue. The Ethics of Virtue refers to the kind of person we should be, what actions we should take, what qualities make life good, and what vices and negative qualities we should avoid. The core of this kind of ethics is "Eudaimonia", which can be translated as "Happiness". According to this theory, our character traits are easily changed almost every day if we so desire; For this reason, we should always look for elements that shape our character for good. Because in addition to becoming good people, we will influence other people to be good as well.
