PART 1. EVALUATE

1. What does Aristotle say about the good life? Does it still stand in the contemporary world?
 So, according to Aristotle, a good life is a happy life because happiness is an end in itself.
Aristotle also developed a theory of the good life, known as Eudaimonia. Eudaimonia is the
good life characterized by happiness and excellence. And, as Aristotle stated about the
meaning of a good life, I believe it still stand in the modern world because happiness is
always linked to positivity, and positivity gives you energy to do what you need to do in life.
Happiness and good health are connected. Indeed, scientific studies have been finding that
happiness can make our hearts healthier, our immune systems stronger, and our lives longer.

2. What are innovations for creative solutions for contemporary issues guided by ethical standards in
attaining good life?
 Some solutions that people have create, particularly among Filipinos, include putting all
events on the internet. The major problem we face today is a virus that forces us to stay
inside our homes. It is said that a good life is a happy life in terms of standards in the pursuit
of a good life. And having a good time in this situation is, in my opinion, making a good life.
Parties and events, for example, are held online, and we all know that it makes us happy.
Classes and jobs are also available online, and people can earn money while staying at home
with their families, which makes us happy. Finally, everyone is happy because, rather than
being negative, everyone is positive even in this situation.

How is the progress in science and technology a movement towards the good life?
 Science and technology advancements contribute significantly to a better quality of life. Science and
technology can assist all people in terms of working; it can help us to reduce the amount of effort we
put in, and it can make our job easier than usual. In this time of pandemic, science and technology
can also aid teachers and students in their studies. All of our questions can be easily answered
thanks to science and technology, thanks to the internet and gadgets. Science and technology enable
us to conduct research and improve our work in a matter of seconds. Science and technology can
also make us happy because they provide us with the tools we require to be entertained. We pass
our time relaxing by watching movies or listening to music. And science and technology can assist us
in reducing stress and generating positive vibes so that we can work productively. As a result, I
conclude that science and technology make us happy, work faster, and are always positive.
