To teach ethics, should you be required to also be as ethical a person as possible? E.g. being a vegan, volunteering, giving to charity, etc. Basically, should the teacher be better than all his students in behaving ethically?

But wouldn't that standard be really high? What if it means that fewer people teach ethics, which means that fewer people learn about ethics and modify their behavior? You don't have to be vegan to convert a few students to veganism.

I don't know where to stand on the issue.

>contemplating wheather or not an specific action is virtuous and not what are the virtues
You're already an unethical being for doing so.
It is in your nature to be ethical.

Are those acts ethical?
Who can determine why or why not?

Any ethical system that declares its own logic unethical can be rejected prima donna.

By what system have you preestablished what is ethical? If all ethics were intuitive and consistent among all persons, there would be no need for a formal analysis.

as in
>would it be in line with the Virtues?

Maybe if your sister is evil she will commit horrible acts if you don't kill her.
