DIRECTIONS: Explain each questions, before you begin writing, read the passage carefully
and plan what you will say. Your essay should be as well organized and as carefully written as
you can make it.
1. In your own opinion what constitute a good life?

- A good life is one in which you realize that you value your inner peace and happiness
more than others, one which you learn to take criticism in an optimistic way, one in
which you realize that there is no point in trying to impress and please others for your
happiness and one in which you realize that your parents are your only well-wishers.
And there are three categories of people, those who don’t care, those who pretend to
care and those who are happy with your misery and jealous with success. What
constitutes a good life is up to the individual, but typically a good life includes doing
good for others, being ethical and caring, being productive and having a purpose in
life making your experiences as a lesson and inspiration. Striving an experiences
rather things and always being positive when it comes to life. A good life is when you
are really happy with whatever you do and you are willing to take a risk to achieve
the goals you planned. In additional a good life is when you are realized that you have
a family that can give you support, unconditional love and willing to sacrifice
everything for you. Realizing that you have God who’s always there for you in any
problem and always make happy and having a special someone that gives you smile
through ups and downs, stay with you even at your worst and loving you and
accepting you for what and who you are, finally I can say that goods life is having all
the people that I loved and achieving my goals in life for them, because of them I am
enjoying what my life means for and that means a good life. Just start your day with a
new hope, leave bad memories behind and have faith for better tomorrow.
2. What does Aristotle say about the good life? Does it still stand in the contemporary
world?
- According to Aristotle, happiness and having a good life is about virtue. He considers
the end of humans to be the good life. According to him, having a good life is having
happiness or prosperity which can be accomplished by living a life according to
virtue which achieved continually living in a virtues manner or living with high moral
standards. Today, I can say that it is still standing in the contemporary world since we
are suffering from the virus which the COVID-19. There is always the virtue and the
moral which is to help one other in times of challenges. There’s a lot of people who
are ready to willing to sacrifice their own lives and health for others, ready to help
and listen and we are uniting and having teamwork because in the end we will going
to heal as one we can make it and will going to heal as one we can make it and we
will be going to win this battle. Have faith in god, be good always and continue
achieving your purpose in life.
3. Does technology always lead us to good life? How and why?

- Since we are living in the 21st century, we need to accept the fact that technology is
being part of our lives and has a great impact. It leads us to a good life as it
responsible for advancement in all sectors of our economy. It provides us a means to
achieve something faster and in an easier manner, we can use manufacturing and
processing foods and medicines, develop new sources of energy, can save lives and
we can use it in communicating and travelling. Modern technology has led to the
evolution of several devices such as the smartphones and computers. People are
becoming rich and successful because of the use of technology and we are
communicating with each other to make our lives better. And I personally believe that
technology is just a tool and people use that tool to build a good life. But it the other
hand technology doesn’t always lead us to good life., because of it we are becoming
lazy we are being too ignorant it makes us too dumb. We are depending too much in
it which is very wrong, when we have assignment we can use technology to search it,
if we have a problem in our office we can use it, the world is too really advance and
technology really changes our lives. We are not using our minds on how we will to do
our tasks and activities, technology can destroy lives and people. But let us be
responsible enough it’s us on how we will be going to use it it’s not the technology
that making our lives good it is how we deal with it. Technology is an useful servant
but dangerous master.
4. How is the progress in science and technology a movement towards the good life?
- Progress on science and technology leads us to a good life because it allows us to
have an easy access to information, faster resolution to problems and better and more
options to choose from. Easy access to information because there is a continuous
development in the field of science especially to technology, information can now be
easily accessed. With just a click, tons of information are shown to you. You don’t
need to go to library to search for a book because the internet will be going to provide
you everything you need. But always be careful because not all information on the
internet are credible and reliable information. Faster resolution to problems, good
example of this is in the field of healthcare. There are diseases that were categorized
as dreaded before but can now be easily treated. Medical professional as well as
specialist from the field of search made it possible, they never stopped looking for
solutions specially those fatal diseases. With science and technology being improved
progressively, the trend of improved treatment will surely continue. As the use of
technology we can make medicines for people and we can only save lives. Better and
more options to choose from, if before we are left to the option we get used to,
improvement in science and technology empowered people to search and discover to
better options. And we can change our lives because it gives us the liberty choose.
There are more reasons proving that the improvement in the field of science and
technology leads towards a good life. Never stop discovering and always remember
that each day is an opportunity to live and discover new things.
