WORKSHEET IN GOOD LIFE

Answer the following questions:

1. Define in your own words the meaning of “good life”.

For me the meaning of “GOOD LIFE” isn’t about having a good life,
lavish things. More money and anything fancy things but just being
genuinely happy and contented in the things you have and also being
graciously thankful for everyone around you and for everything.

2. How can one achieve a good life according to the article, “What is the
Good Life?” by Emrys Westacott?
1) Virtue: They must be morally virtuous.
2) Health: They should enjoy good health and reasonably long life.
3) Prosperity: They should be comfortably off (for Aristotle this
meant affluent enough so that they don’t need to work for a
living doing something that they would not freely choose to do.)
4) Friendship: They must have good friends. According to Aristotle
human beings are innately social; so the good life can’t be that
of a hermit, a recluse, or a misanthrope.
5) Respect: They should enjoy the respect of others. Aristotle
doesn’t think that fame or glory is necessary; in fact, a craving
for fame can lead people astray, just as the desire for excessive
wealth can. But ideally, a person’s qualities and achievements
will be recognized by others.
6) Luck: They need good luck. This is an example of Aristotle’s
common sense. Any life can be rendered unhappy by tragic loss
or misfortune.
7) Engagement: They must exercise their uniquely human abilities
and capacities. This is why the couch potato is not living well,
even if they report that they are content. Aristotle argues that
what separates human beings from the other animals is the
human reason.

3. Can technology lead us to a good life? Explain your answer.

Technology leads to a good life as it is responsible for advancement in all
sectors of the economy.
It is because it provides us a means to achieve something faster and in an
easier manner. Modern technology has led to the evolution of several
devices such as the smartphone, computers, etc. that makes our work to be
completed in a convenient way.

Technology has also led to the generation of robots via artificial

intelligence that automatically performs work. Also, it has generated
digital payment systems. However, technology can also affect us in the
negative way if we misuse it. Technology needs to be balanced with

human labour to achieve something and should not be allowed to

overpower humans.
