A man might be called virtuous for sharing his wealth with someone in need of money, for lending a hand to someone in distress, for using kind words of comfort. However, the same man may have ulterior motives that are hidden. He could be a loan shark, a corrupt politician, a predator priest etc.

Society can ascribe value to something in one generation or culture which is condemned in the next generation or from some far off place.

The judgement of individuals or society wrt specific circumstance or practices may be flawed but the ideal forms of virtue persist across time and circumstance, and are known by individuals and recognized by humanity at large.
