I found the idea of ‘good’ in Book 1 to be particularly interesting. Aristotle begins Politics by defining that a state is defined by its “view to some good” (1252a1). He later goes on to define that the state exists “for the sake of a good life” after its citizens have met their bare necessities. What does Aristotle mean by ‘good’? Does it mean happiness? Stability? I found this idea particularly intriguing because Aristotle points out that this goodness is best achieved collectively rather than

We have reached an age‚ where most things are done through TV and cinema. It is unfortunate many people do not read many books anymore. People would rather sit for a few hours in a dark room eating popcorn and watching a screen. In my opinion it is necessary for more books to be adapted in films. Some people might argue whether a great book such as Madame Bovary and The Great Gatsby can shine in the same light with a film adaptation. With the film techniques available and the great
