Answer 1

Answer:

Five relevant examples that would prove that the statement is true or false:

1. People in the government of a particular country support the people in the situation of natural calamity. This teaches us that we should also contribute for the welfare of the people who are affected by the calamity. Here, Aristotle’s statement, “People in government exercise a teaching function and we see what they do and think and that's how we should act” holds true.

2. People in the government of a particular country collects excessive taxes from the people of the society without differentiating between the higher class income earners and the lower class income earners. Here, Aristotle’s statement, “Unfortunately, when they do things that are underhanded or dishonest, that teaches too" holds false as this act of the government is underhanded and it simply gives agony and does not add any teachings to us.

3. People in the government of a particular country leverage the fees of the schools required by the low income earner people to teach their children. This teaches the low income earners that they should teach their children and it also teaches the high income earners to contribute towards the society for the welfare of the low income earners. Here, Aristotle’s statement, “People in government exercise a teaching function and we see what they do and think and that's how we should act” holds true.

4. People in the government of a particular country do not control the rising economic imbalance between the low income earners and high income earners. Here, Aristotle’s statement, “Unfortunately, when they do things that are underhanded or dishonest, that teaches too" holds false as this act of the government is underhanded and it simply gives agony and does not add any teachings to us.

5. People in the government take bribe for performing certain act from the applicants. This act of the people teaches us that we should not bribe the people of government as they are getting addicted to this practise. Here, Aristotle’s statement, “People in government exercise a teaching function and we see what they do and think and that's how we should act” holds true.
