Description

Activity is the acknowledgment of the intensity of a person or thing to impact change in itself and its condition. To act or to complete is to make genuine the potential or force that an actor possesses. In the language of Aristotle’sthree modalities of plausibility, need and actuality, activity is the development from ‘I can’ to ‘I do’, or from ‘I should’ to ‘I do’.
