Aristotle lived in Greece in the fourth century before the Common Era. He was a student of Plato and wrote numerous volumes on drama, poetry, mathematics, logic, physics, reality and ethics.

The government should make Coca Cola increase their health controls (internalise their externalities), if scandals of this sort happen again.
