Ill take Business Ethics for $600
Ethics is a very nice change from all of Socrates' forms. It starts with a very nice opener that says good is that at which all things aim. Already im thinking alright, sweet maybe ill figure out what this good is and if i can ever find some somewhere. Aristotle has a nice way of speaking that doesnt seem to dwell on anything for too long, or go off on random notes that usually dont lead anywhere. He says the good of a person is nice, but the good of a city is divine and by nature, political...sounds familiar. Many of the passages are conclusive, which i appreciated. He shows how skewed peoples' views on happiness can be by saying many people have different views on it, and often the same person can have different views on it, as if it is a flucuating thing. We do actually get a good version of happiness and the good. Happiness is virtue-ing. To be happy is to practice whatever virtue sums you as a person. It is an active thing that in essence is somebody performing to their best abilities. Why are their so many unhappy people in the world? Well, its because UPS delivery doesnt require bravery.

Even though you are saying that UPS delivery doesn't require bravery I think on some level it does. FOr instance, you have to be seen in those brown shorts or pants and brown shirt by everyone. Oh and don't forget the hat as well. Also maybe there is a crazy dog at a house that is just mean and angry and will tear you apart if he can get near you. I think there is more to being a UPS delievery guy or gal than one might think and I think we as normal citizen are ignorant to what really goes on there.
