So, ethical virtues are acquired by our world around us, our habitat. They are not already with us when we are born, but by nature we have the ability to attain them or receive them and to perfect them. Right? To become virtuous we must perform virtuous acts in our early youth and grow through virtue as we age. Virtue must become a habit and for virtue to become a habit, a person must 1.) know what he's doing 2.) intends to do it 3.) acts firmly in it. So virtues are basically just habits and in specific, ethical virtue is concerned with a feeling and an action. That's what I got from it.
