According to Blum (1996) ,virtues can only be sustained within ______.

A) families
B) individuals
C) communities
D) prison

According to Blum (1996), virtues can only be sustained within communities, as virtues are passed down through social and cultural practices and institutions. Virtues require a shared understanding and reinforcement within a community to be sustained over time. Neither families nor individuals have the same capacity to sustain virtues on their own without the support and reinforcement of a broader communal context. Prisons, by their very nature, are not conducive to the sustainability of virtues.
