"Virtue Ethics focuses on integrity, yet integrity isn't always easy to define. Integrity may be assessed in terms of following an ethical code, adhering to traditional morality, or in reference to consequences. The underlying questions in determining integrity are what motivates the actor, or what are the actor's intentions. Motivations and intentions spring from character, so character and integrity can never be separated."
