Eudemonia is best described as "The good composed of all goods; an ability which suffices for living well". It means happiness or welfare but if translated, it's meaning is "human fluorishing".

The answer to the blank is: happiness is good for society.

Eudemonia is a Greek word that roughly means happiness or flourishing (etymologically it is composed of two words that mean “good” and “spirit”). It is a central concept in the ethical and political systems of Aristotle, which demand that a good life is one dedicated to the achievement of happiness, founded on virtue and knowledge, and this applies personally and to the whole of society.
