What is the best/worst advice you ever got? Why?
The best advice I got was to ask for help whenever I need it because I have trouble with that. The worst advice I got was to think more because I do think plenty, I just don't think about the things I'm supposed to be thinking about.
Who do you turn to when you need advice? Why?
My friends and family because I trust them most.
What kind of advice do you normally give others?
I tell them to do whatever makes them happy as long as it doesn't break any rules or anything.
What advice would you give your parents/teachers?
I would tell them to stop giving me so much work to do, but that would be mean, and I might get in trouble for it.
Answer:
A courageous woman, Hatshepsut, reigned during Egypt's eighteenth dynasty.
Her reign, lasting 22 years, was successful.
She brought changes, most importantly, wealth and trade to her people.
All the rulers, called pharaohs, before her, were men.
There is much to learn about Hatshepsut, a brave and daring woman.
Her greatest project, her burial temple, was built by her advisor, Senenmut.
Explanation:
In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.) describes the happy life intended for man by nature as one lived in accordance with virtue, and, in his Politics, he describes the role that politics and the political community must play in bringing about the virtuous life in the citizenry.
The Politics also provides analysis of the kinds of political community that existed in his time and shows where and how these cities fall short of the ideal community of virtuous citizens.
Although in some ways we have clearly moved beyond his thought (for example, his belief in the inferiority of women and his approval of slavery in at least some circumstances), there remains much in Aristotle’s philosophy that is valuable today.
