    “Whether or not the government implemented social justice in the Philippines” In my own point of view the social justice in the Philippines is not totally implemented for the poor and the oppressed people but for the rich one it is.

    In Nicomachean Ethics in the first book‚ Aristotle claims that to discover the human good we must identify the function of a human-being. He argues that the human function is rational activity. Our good is therefore rational activity performed well‚ which Aristotle takes to mean in accordance with virtue. This argument has been criticized at almost every point.
