Stephanie volunteers at an organization that collects and distributes clothing to those in need. As she is packing boxes to send overseas, she finds a donated item of clothing that perfectly suits her sense of style and would be a versatile item to add to her own wardrobe. Stephanie sets the item aside to take home with her. According to virtue-based ethics, why is Stephanie's action unethical? Stealing is always wrong. Her action cultivates the vice of greed. Her action will deprive needy recipients of clothing. She is not following the instructions she was given.
