Aristotle was a ancient greek philosopher from the years 384-322 B.C.E. and studied under Pluto. Aristotle was known as “The Philosopher” by many wrote 200 treaties. He started his own school after classifying the knowledge into subjects, some of which we see today. Aristotle died by an infection in his digestive organs at the age of 62.

Humans can make carefully planned decisions compared to rash decisions by animals. A example can be when high school students are sitting in a classroom. They start to become hungry but they know lunch is right
