Reflection 14

The impact of aristotle on modern western education is not complicated to understand, unlike his teachings. His formula for happiness was well thought out simple and concise, It was logical and left no room for arguements or disputes. He did not believe that ignorance is bliss he thoguht the complete opposite of that statement. Aristotle also felt that humans had natural and aquired desires. Aquired desire could disguise themselves as needs but realla differ from each individual based on differant sets of circumstances, Natural desires are things that we truely could not survive without. The human physic believe that somethings that are aquired need are natural needs and confuse the two, they use the exapmle of ffod being a natural need but the type of food being an aquired need. Some people feel that the things that are good for us are hard to do or bad. Aristotle is similair to soraste in their wisedom it is for having cmplex extravagent ideologies but simply taking behavors and categorizing them into logical explainations.
The effect Aristotle has on modern western education is simple people will always be in the pursuit of happiness and the problem is no one can really define it exactly the same or write down a fool proof formula to acheive it. But Aristotle laid out a theory that can be proven and should be practiced by everyoe who seeks true happiness. In seekign happiness you are seeking intellectual and moral excellance. School is higher education and more knowledge and knowledge is power. People exert over their lives a cetain amount of power and one fo them is to better imporve themselves and self improvement usually leads to being more functional and being more functional makes a person happy. Remembering that a person needs to say yes to their needs and no to their wants. I believe that schools should focus more on hsi teachings and use them to explain to students who want to drop out for what ever reasons that this choice is not llogical in their happiness and is only proveing theor ignorance and inexperiance. I feel education is a natural want ( it is something we need to survive) This impact on modern western education may be subtle but there none the less. Schools have to remember that not everything in life in complex and difficult to grasp if he take the time to really think it through the answers are quit simple but difficult to achieve.
