City is a creation of nature. The citizen, he defined the meaning of “citizen”

Ethics influences Politics Politics has the most authoritative and master art to attain and preserve ethics. To investigate politics, he made a plan first – suggestion and second the influences that favored or destroyed states and third for an ideal continuation.

The community. The family as “the association established by nature for the supply of men’s everyday wants,” like man and woman. Colony as basically familial, being composed of children and relatives The complete community or city-state unites several villages.
