+	- Unique from other ethical theories
+
+- Aristotle is Macedonian from the 4th century BCE, his father was an engineer
+	- Came to Athens with a different way of looking at things
+
+- Aristotle believes that all people have the ability to learn how to be virtuous
+	- How do you become a virtuous person (according to Aristotle)?
+		- You need models of virtuous behavior: a **moral exemplar**
+		- Virtue is a practice, not a knowledge
+		- The end goal for Aristotle is to create a perfect society where all members are virtuous
+
+- List of Aristotle's virtues:
+	- Courage
+	- Generosity
+	- Ambition
+	- Modesty
+	- Honesty
+	- Good Humor
+	- Friendship
+	- Temperance
+	- Composure
+	- Self Control
+
+- Aristotle's virtues are a **balance**: not a deficiency, nor an excess
+	- ex. sloth is a deficiency, greed is an excess, ambition is a balance
+
+- Pros of Virtue Ethics

+	- Ideally makes you a better person by having you practice virtues
+

+
+## Abortion
+
+- How would any one of the discussed ethical theories react to abortion
+	- Kantian Ethics
+		- If the fetus is considered a person, then abortion is wrong because murder is absolutely wrong
+		- Abortion is not universalizable, so abortion is wrong
+	- Utilitarianism
+		- Remember, all about the optimific choice. If abortion is optimific, then it is permissible
+	- Virtue Ethics
+		- This depends on whether a virtuous person would have an abortion. If an argument can be made for a virtuous person having an abortion, then it is morally permissible
