Aristotle

 

As Plato believed on .
             Women's rights while Aristotle didn't. .
             As Aristotle believed on natural rights, it would be "against nature if children told their .
             parents what to do"4 or basically a slave getting one on one with his master or disobeying .
             him. .
             Aristotle believed that only "Males were citizens"5 and they were the ones who share .
             the holdings in the office, as women and slaves were not capable to rule. Aristotle .
             seemed only one sided and that was in favor of Men as he says men were equal amongst .
             each other and the reason he gives was that as men are "self sufficient".6 Also he talks .
             about why women couldn't rule, the reason he gives is because "Women's natural .
             inferiority to men"7. To explain this Aristotle gets a little biological and says that in .
             reproduction male is superior to the female and that it is the male who provides the form .
             of the new life and therefore female is inferior to male and needs to be ruled by a male.
             In today's world, one can easily disagree with Aristotle's notion about only male to be .
             citizens and that only they are equal and fit to rule because of natural rights and "self .
             sufficiency". Today everyone have their own natural rights from Men to Women to .
             Children. And the interpretations are different from what Aristotle thought.today not .
             only men but also women work in the Offices. Children after being at a legal age they .
             can also work. And most importantly Females today have also a natural right to rule if .
             they have the capabilities to do so. .
             Aristotle furthermore goes on discussing about to who is a good citizen. According to .
             him "male citizens have to know how to rule and to be ruled"7b. Once you know these .
             you, according to Aristotle, are a good citizen. After saying this one can easily assume .
             that slaves, women and children are not considered to be a citizen yet alone to be a .
             "good citizen" as they don't know how to rule and therefore their natural right is only to .
