Of the three theories I would say that the most defendable theory would be the objective list theory.  I say this because I believe that the least amount of people would disagree with this theory.  The theory has the objective that goods, such as love, knowledge, achievement, and so on, can benefit people.  I feel like people would not argue that the way to live life is to enjoy it to the fullest and look to reap and benefits that we can to make us happier and a better person.  Many of the things that are on this list are things that we strive for day to day, and want to have.    However, there are still the objections that it is an arbitrary list and there is no way to make just one list.  I think that this theory is something that we should all try to use because even though the list may not be complete, and we may not agree on all of the things on the list, as long as you can take away and strive for some of the goods on the list, then the theory will benefit you and those around you.  This theory is most defensible because it is hard for someone to argue that they don’t want achievement.  The reason that we go out every day and work or go to school is for the purpose of achievement and that sense of pride.  Someone is not able to argue against knowledge because it can only help you and your life.  I think that this is the most defensible theory because it is hard to argue against something that we believe is intrinsically good.
