Happiness
During the Aristotle chapter the conversations in class basically revolved around happiness and how to achieve it. I think that happiness can only be grabbed by someone who strives to meet self-actualization. This is because Maslaw's Hierarchy of needs. It says that all the needs add up to one another and with out the one below you cant have the one above. For example, if you don't have biological needs then you cant possibly have the safety needs. I think that self actualization is the only possible way to get happiness.

True, although I think the hierarchy is a bit outdated; there are certain parts of it which do not pertain to everyone equally, and also I am not sure one needs to satisfy all the needs in one level before being able to achieve some of the needs in the next.
