How would the world be different if laws, order, and civilization existed? Hobbes’s Leviathan exemplifies three aspects of a world imposed by the condition of nature: competitiveness, diffidence, and glory, which depicts a ‘poor, ugly, and brutish’ life. In the excerpt from the book, it states, “If any two men Continue reading
In my opinion a democratic form of government would be the least dystopian government. Any government has its flaws so this doesn’t mean that this form is perfect but it is the most fitting for the prompt. Democracy is more for the people as a whole. Compared to the other Continue reading
