1. Phronesis – is the complicated interactions between general (theory) and practical (judgment).

An ability to discern how or why to act virtuously and encourage practical virtue, excellence of
character, in others. According to Socrates, phronesis is the very essence of virtue and what it
means to be a good person. He believed that phronesis was the most important attribute of all
to learn.
Friendship - is the friendship of men who are good and alike in virtue; for these wish well alike
to each other qua good, and they are good themselves. Now those who wish well to their
friends for their sake are most truly friends; for they do this by reason of own nature and not
incidentally; therefore their friendship lasts as long as they are good-and goodness is an
enduring thing.
Wealth - By “natural,” Aristotle meant wealth-getting activity that is clearly and consciously
pursued as a means to the ends of “truth” and “virtue.” The problem with wealth getting,
according to Aristotle, is that it can become an end in itself, that is, wealth acquisition becoming
the goal rather than something subservient to a higher purpose.
Power - passages an active power is defined as a source of change in something else, and
thereby distinguished from a thing's nature, which is a source of change. in that which possesses
it. In 1049b5-10, however, Aristotle notes that.
2. Everyone claims that science is the cause of a happy existence. Though good living and science
are inextricably linked, they have an impact on one another, much like the notion of cause and
effect. Science and its discoveries have a significant influence on human existence, particularly
the good life. At the same time, technology brings us to a good life and does not lead us to a
good life. It all depends on how we define happiness. If we misuse technology, it might have a
negative impact on us. As a result, maintaining a balance between technology and human labor
is critical; technology should never be allowed to overcome humans.
3. Simply put then, in verification the observation comes first and the theory develops out of the
observation. In falsification the theory comes first and our observations are manufactured in an
attempt to disprove our theory. “Falsification” is to be understood as the refutation of
statements, and in contrast, “verification” refers to statements that are shown to be true. The
goal of science is to create knowledge by identifying true statements as true (verified) and false
statements as false (falsified).
4. a. Technology is a means to an end means technology is a tool that has a purpose and a way of
achieving an outcome. Yet, some people play with technology, not to achieve something but just
to play with making electronic things. So, when one say’s “technology is a means to an end,’
they say that it is a tool to be used but not wasted time over by playing with it.
b. Technology is a human activity means Technology refers to the means that humans use to
obtain resources and modify the world around them. Function, related to technology, refers to
how tools, equipment, and facilities were used by humans in the past. Human activity is a
generic term for the study of the function and use of space.
5. The purpose of what science and technology invented is for us, to benefit the humans. A person
has an obligation to choose to do the right thing then it involves science and technology since
they the one responsible for the work done in technology. Since there are chances that they can
destroy a person's life in such a way of reckless and irresponsible handling of using technology.
6. No because there were many sources of electricity that won't cause harm to the environment
and people itself. Solar Cells and Windmills are examples of those The advantages of nuclear
power are: One of the most low-carbon energy sources. It also has one of the smallest carbon
footprints. It's one of the answers to the energy gap. It is essential to our response to climate
change and greenhouse gas emissions. Reliable and cost-effective. Here are some of the
disadvantages of nuclear energy Expensive to Build. Despite being relatively inexpensive to
operate, nuclear power plants are incredibly expensive to build—and the cost keeps rising.
Accidents, Produces Radioactive Waste, Impact on the Environment, Security Threat, Limited
