Consider again the Roadrunner Industries case. What is required, according to virtue ethics, for your action to be morally right?

You are an executive for Roadrunner Industries. Suppose that the company has the revenue$$

to reward all employees with a winter holiday bonus. For simplicity, suppose that all the$$

employees are of the same rank, and that all have worked equally as hard and been equally$$

as productive $$ all in all, no one has performed better or worse than another. However,$$

suppose that your boss$$s nephew, A$,$ is one of the employees, and you suspect that if A$$s$$

shown better treatment than the others $($for example, by giving A a bigger bonus than the$$

others$),$ it will increase your value in your boss$$s eyes. This would be good for you, because$$

it increases the likelihood that you would be the one to receive the next big promotion.
