Ethics

All Human beings aim at achieving something good in everything that they execute. When one achieves his or her own goals, then he or she becomes very happy because he has been able to accomplish whatever he wanted. Everything good that happens leads to happiness which is what each and every person is looking for in life (Aristotle, 1999). The main objective of ethics, is to determine how best one can be able to achieve happiness. In order for one to be happy, he or she needs to live in accordance with certain virtues, mainly because, virtues determine the end point of an event. Thus for a plan to be successful, certain virtues must be highly followed hence leading to a positive end which leads to happiness.

Different people have different virtues, and this consequently means that people with different virtues have dissimilar principles. A virtues person leads a very responsible type of life and is likely to achieve more goals in his life compared to one who is not virtues. On other hand, voluntary action also affects the decision that a person is likely to make, mainly because one may be faced by a threat and so decides to do an opposite thing from what is expected from him or her (Aristotle, 1999). Courage, as a virtue, allows one to be able to stick to his or her own goals regardless of the circumstances that he or she might be facing. This therefore makes a person to be determined in achieving his or her own goals without being hindered by anything whatsoever. Prudence also helps one in reasoning properly concerning intellectual matters, thus being able to make the right decisions in life.
