The word your question is talking about is "eudaimonia."  I'm writing that in English letters -- not sure if the Greek version will appear here properly, but I'll try:  <span>εὐδαιμονία</span>
The word was used especially by the ancient philosopher Aristotle to describe a "well-spirited" life (that would be a sort of literal translation based on the etymology of the word).  Aristotle spoke of human happiness (or yes, "flourishing" is probably the better term) as the goal of human existence. We reach this goal by living a sort of life in accordance with the kind of beings we are.  The idea of eudaimonia was central to Aristotle's ethics, or his approach to the right kind of life for human persons to strive for.

The soviet union agreement to participate in the united nations. true or false
V125BC [204]

The correct answer is "true."

If you mean that the Soviet Union participated in the negotiations and agreements to create the United Nations in 1945, then yes, the correct answer is true.

Indeed, the Soviet Union had an active participation with the creation of the UN and was part of the Security Council of the United Nations.

However, major differences between the USSR and the United States and Great Britain made the USSR keep its distance from western European countries and the United States. The Cold War had begun.

The western European countries founded NATO with the United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. On the other hand, the Soviet Union signed the Warsaw Pact with the Eastern European countries such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and East Germany.
