John Locke Vs Hobbes

If you do not agree with your government, simply leave and find another government you do agree with. Additionally, Locke’s plan protects the citizens by giving them leave to make their own decisions. Hobbes’s view is doubly flawed: his opinion on human nature forces his government to fail morally. Locke’s idea of government is far better than Hobbes’s because he prevents the ruler from taking advantage of the

Both of these religion were founded by righteous men but the way they see the religion or Nature is completely different from one another. Daoist are more about Nature 's way and going with Tao or the way of Nature. Taoism focuses more on itself and focuses more on individuals and how they can have a better lifestyle. While on the other hand Confucian focuses more on social work rather than focuses on individuals life. Confucians also believe in having a good strong government will make a better society and will stop people from doing evil.

Machiavelli is advising in the book on how to handle the society in the order to see the political point of view. He is a believer that you can control your own fate on how you present yourself to others. That anyone in power of the nation has the right to deceit the people in order to protect the nation. Machiavelli believes that being a successful leader you need to have less compassion over the society but more towards the nation. His strong belief that people that come from power and money; will gain power over the ones that are less fortunate.

He favored representative government and a rule of law. He denounced tyranny. He insisted that when government violates individual rights, people may legitimately rebel” (Powell 2). He believed that the government was created for the people and not just the monarchy and if the government fails it’s up to the people to ‘fix’ it. He influenced many people and philosophers, including Thomas Paine and Thomas

Liberal contractarianism and libertarianism are big advocates for the individual. They believe the states primary goal is to protect these individual rights and help people flourish through their individually chosen goals. “Liberalism adds the corollary that the state should remain neutral regarding values, goals, and actions that do not directly interfere with anyone’s autonomy.” What Wenz was suggesting is that liberalism strives to make the state a neutral party and not have the state take sides in individual matters. Both of these theories focuses in on individualism as the most important part of society. This is because individualism only has two obligations.

Old Earth’s society is based on the Construct and the Paradigms of Power, which are their laws. The Construct says, “Because society is based on trust, trust cannot be withheld on unfounded suspicion. Threats are a form of mistrust; so are unprovoked violence, use of physical force, and manipulation of another.” The basis of the Paradigms of Power is that “Society is based on morality. Morality rests on consensus and requires the use of power to remove those who will not accept that consensus.” The consensus is based on honesty and trust and in order to maintain the consensus, those who are dishonest get thrown out of society. They believe that “Survival means acceptance of a desired moral structure and the use of some sort of force to maintain

Let us see who is the strongest”. This citation shows that Thoreau did not want to follow the laws. Thoreau also believed in living life by following moral law and not law stated in the constitution. Thoreau also believed that the government does best if it does not rule over the people. In the essay Civil Disobedience it says “That government is best which governs least”.

I agree with Skinner because the general public is nothing more than “Happy Slaves”, we are molded by hidden controls (laws) and don’t even realize it. Therefore, freedom is an illusion. For example, if we wanted to use our freedom of speech toward law enforcement we would face consequences for disrespecting an authority. Although, the first amendment is supposed to protect us, it does not excuse us from hindrance or consequences. The illusion that we have freedom is merely something created by the ruling power because they create and determine what actions the general public are able to do according to the

They take words like bad and turn it into ungood just to play with your mind so you will never thing something is bad it is just ungood. If there are no negatives words to express your opinion than there is no way you can talk negatively about the government. This is how the government controls reality and how people see the government. Since they can not talk bad about it they simply can't call it ungood. This controls how people think and how people view their

Those fears were unwarranted because the Constitution, did not allow the government to oppressed the citizens of the nation. Because of the checks and balances written in by the founding fathers. These checks and balance made sure that the government would always do what the will of the people wanted. Jefferson would not compromise and lobbied his policies instead. He even went as far as to say “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers…alone.
