Solution Preview
The prescriptive narrative ethical theory which Stanley Hauerwas has proposed focuses on the character of the individual as well as the actions. He argued that the morally depended on the narrative approach. Also, he believed that Christian ethics was derived from stories which are present in the bible and not from principle.
