Read chapter 7 of Book I of the Nicomachean Ethics with special care.  There, Aristotle offers a second argument (from self-sufficiency) for a conclusion he has already reached on the basis of a previous argument.

In no more than two typed pages:
  1. Say what that "result" or conclusion is.
  2. Indicate briefly why that conclusion is significant.
  3. Lay out the two arguments he offers for it.
  4. In the course of doing so, be sure to indicate what Aristotle means by his crucial terms, especially "end," 'final," "final without qualification" and "self-sufficiency".
