Moral absolutism is the ethical belief that there are absolute standards where actions can be judged as right or wrong, regardless of the context of the act. Absolute moral rules are difficult to universalize, thus they are difficult for everyone everywhere to abide by them. When I think of absolutism, I think of the ten commandments in the Bible. Commandments such as; Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not kill, and Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife, all are examples of absolute standards and rules. For true believers under no circumstance are these commandments to be broken.

The idea of virtue ethics was first introduced to the world by Aristotle over 2,300 years ago in 325 BC (Rachels 173). Virtue ethics operate on the belief that people develop good character by looking at the virtues they admire in other people and emulating them. In order to do this, a person must ask themselves what kind of person they want to be and focus on choosing characteristics not specific people to emulate.
