Review Questions:

1. What is happiness, accoring to Aristotle? How is it related to virtue? How is it related to pleasure?

Happiness is like a food because it is for all the people in the world and for everyone. When we feel good for other and for ourselves this is happiness. For Aristotle happiness is within the human self, human virtue and those are the ethical and for personal viewpoint of every person.

2. How does Aristotle expain moral virtue?

 Aristotle applies the moral virtue in a way that this is his habit so that this is every person his or her habit. Those habits are the trademark of every human being and this is serving as a character or attitude of a person. Aristotle sees the different virtue of the people that is the person attitude and what is or she rose. This is the thing where we believe and where we raised our personality.  

3. Is it possible for everyone in our society to be happy, as Aristotle explains? If not, who cannot be happy?

 Aristotle want every people in the society to be happy and he has a lot of reason why should this happen and what are the possibilities to make this happen. And for me I think every people in the society has a change to attain happiness in life, this is a free and when you achieve happiness and all people get happiness in life I think this is better to the community and society. Every person can have their happiness it a matter of time when he/she will be happy. For human being no one can decide that you are happy but you self only. Because happiness is not a tangible material but this is inside in the human nature.

Discussion Questions:

1. Aristotle characterizes a life of pleasure as a suitable for beasts. But what, if anything, is wrong with a life of pleasure?

Aristotle characterizes a life of pleasure as a suitable for beasts because we as a human being we wants pleasure in life, and for my personal side this pleasure is something that you will decide, so that we have our own mind to decide what is wrong. Different culture and religion practice their morality in life so for other thing are right and other are wrong. If you get the right pleasure in the right time you will achieve your happiness in life that is the true pleasure when you attain the happiness in life.

2. Aristotle claims that the philosopher will be happier than anyone else. Why is this? Do you agree or not?

Aristotle is trying to show us what his own perspective view of what is happiness is. We can apply this because everyone in the world has a change to become philosopher but in the end only yourself are the one who can said the you are happy or not because it is within human being as a circumstance of individual
