Aristotle Ethic Dilemma

Instructions

Read the following and give the advice that Aristotle would give.  (One or Two paragraphs is sufficient.)Respond and reference this scenerio below...Money for nothingA couple of months ago, the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement (BBM) called J.P., a reader from London, Ontario, and asked if he would participate in a survey that involved completing a radio listening diary for a week.
