Hobbes View

I wish that the world could be as simple as how Hobbs describes the relationships between ants or bees but Hobbs is right about humans. We are dangerous. The six reasons Hobbes states are inevitably true. John had previously said that human’s beings being competitive makes our country better and stronger, but I find that most of the time, it tears us apart. An example that Devon had used earlier about the presidential elections is a strong point. How all humans have that mentality and will do whatever they want to win such as making untrue comments about a competitor so voters will change their view on the person. Another example of this would be college. We all strive for excellence and in these times the world has made it possible to give everyone a chance to go and therefore making acceptance into college one of the most competitive times in teenagers lives. In today’s world it has been made clear that the most successful people, are not always the best or the nicest. Therefore, going back to Hobbe’s point, humans can’t live sociably in nature because the world is competitive and although in some cases are competitiveness can lead us in a positive direction, it is more common that this personality trait only leads humans to being more dangerous.
