If there is an issue, it falls in one’s lap and there is no one to blame but himself. Sometimes, if there are unfinished business tasks, it will be one’s job to complete even if the business day is over.

As an example, a grocery store clerk who reports the father from the previous example to the police would be in violation of utilitarian ideology, but would find approval in virtue ethics. By reporting the father he is being an excellent employee to the grocery store and also improving society by reducing crime, passing the tests for both ethics and morality by virtue ethics standards.

"Mending Wall" (1914) Every year, two neighbors meet to repair the stone wall that divides their property. The narrator is skeptical of this tradition, unable to understand the need for a wall when there is no livestock to be contained on the property, only apples and pine trees.
