Politics (Aristotle)

Politics is like when you and your friends have different ideas about what game to play or what snack to eat. Politics is how adults make decisions about things that affect a lot of people, like how to run a city or a country.

Aristotle was a very smart man who lived a long time ago. He thought a lot about politics and came up with some ideas that people still talk about today.

He believed that every person is part of a group, like a family or a community, and that everyone wants to live a good life. He called this good life "happiness." But sometimes people have different ideas about what will make them happy.

Aristotle thought that the best way to make decisions about how to run a community or a country was to have everyone work together to find the best solution. He called this "the common good." This means that everyone should work together to make sure that everyone has a good life, not just a few people.

Aristotle also believed that there should be rules and laws to make sure that everyone was treated fairly. He believed that these laws should be made by people who were wise and just, and that everyone should follow them.

So, to sum it up, politics is how adults make decisions about things that affect a lot of people, Aristotle was a smart man who believed that everyone should work together to make sure that everyone has a good life, and that there should be rules and laws to make sure that everyone was treated fairly.
