--When Aristotle talks about a “political community” or “city state,” he is referring to a group of people or villages that come together to make pure survival easier but evolve into something more as their end goal evolves something more.

Needs: --sharing a common location --trading goods --preventing crime against one another

?? (too assuming?)Friendship and comradery will essentially make it easier for everyone to consider their fellow citizens when making a decision or completing an action.\

Eventually the end goal, instead of just surviving, is to live the good life and to be self sufficient. The good life is a result of acting for the good of the community, being noble in one’s actions, and being a virtuous person. One would much sooner consider completing actions for the good of the entire community if said community was full of friends rather than complete strangers who happen to be living together.
