Question
Danielle's roommate Tasha asks her it she thinks the short story that Tasha has just written is any good. Danielle says that it is a wonderfully written story, which is a lie because she really thinks it is wretched. However, she doesn't want to hurt Tasha's feelings. Based on Danielle's encouragement, Tasha reads the story to a writing group and is thoroughly humiliated. She never trusts her roommate again.
Suppose that Danielle came to you for advice after she read the story, but before she discussed the story with her roommate. Suppose that Danielle said to you, "I understand you've studied Aristotle. How would Aristotle help me figure out the right thing to do?" Compose an answer, using Aristotle's ethics, to help Danielle decide the right thing to do.
Explanation / Answer
Answer- Aristotale used a patient, careful and descriptive approach of moral philosphy. According to him, it is the responsibility of all human beings to achieve the highest good called happiness. It includes the entire function of human life as a whole. I would suggest Danielle to answer the question of Tasha in a meaningful way and explain her what is wrong in her story so she would not be ashamed in front of others. It is the moral responsibility of Danielle to explain the drawback of her story without hurting her feelings. This would be helpful to get true pleasure for both Danielle and Tasha.
