    Human nature is constructed to aim for something good at the end of every act. Every human aims at achieving the happiness as an end result. That is the reason why in this paper‚ I will argue that Aristotle’s theory‚ Nicomachean Ethics‚ is the most plausible theory in describing human nature and answering the question of how one should live in order to attain happiness. According to Aristotle all the human activities are directed towards a final end‚ which he claims to be the happiness. He also claims

    This is still very relevant to African Americans today‚ even though it shouldn’t be. I say it shouldn’t be because now‚ for Mr. King was 52 years and five months ago. These problems have been going on for more than half a century after he professed his dream‚ and there has been little change since then. There is still discrimination towards blacks and other colored races. Racial injustice against Black Americans is America’s top priority or at least it should be. Plus‚ there are still forms of segregation

    In Plato’s Theaetetus Plato attempts to show what knowledge is. Socrates asks Theaetetus what he thinks knowledge is. Since Theaetetus answers incorrectly‚ Socrates presents other definitions about knowledge. One theory is "Man is the Measure of all things." Although this theory comes from Socrates‚ he still believes it is in need of more explanation. Socrates reverts to Protagoras’ teachings and explains his theory on the idea that "Man in the Measure of all things" Socrates presents Protagoras’

    and the nature of a person’s soul. Plato’s tripartite of the soul is the appetite‚ the spirit‚ and the mind (1).
