MacIntyre(as a philosophical authority on virtue ethics): Alasdair MacIntyre is a Scottish philosopher who argued that morality and virtue are best understood through stories and the context of communities and traditions, not just abstract rules.
Normative framework(the broader system of rules that might underlie moral language): A set of rules or standards about how things *should* be or *ought* to be done, rather than how they actually are.
Sandel(as a philosopher engaged in debate about accomplishment): Michael Sandel is a famous Harvard philosopher who writes about ethics and justice, particularly interested in how society should treat fairness and what we owe each other.
constitutive community(describes what shapes a person's identity and values): The groups and relationships that are essential to making you who you are—like your family, culture, or society—rather than things that are just added on to an already-complete person.
