An essay comparing and contrasting divine-command theory and Aristotelian virtue ethics is described below in details.

Explanation:

The Divine Command Theory declares that an action is permitted or required if and only if that action is permitted or authorized by God. ... So, to know God's will, we must believe in God's instructions. Even though we may not be able to realize why he charges or wills some things.

Virtue ethics is a theory generated by Aristotle and other classical Greeks. It is the crusade to know and experience a life of the moral aspect. This character-based appearance to morality believes that we receive virtue through training. ... So, virtue ethics assist us to understand what it intends to be a virtuous human being.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
