What is Machiavelli’s view of human nature? Your answer should be at least one hundred words

English
1 answer:
ANTONII [103]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Machiavelli's human view mostly states that human nature is selfish, aggressive, greedy and power-hungry, but in need of security and safety.

Thus, he considers man in a similar way to that of Thomas Hobbes: humans have a predominantly negative conception, their individual characteristics are prone to evil, and society is a containment in which humans limit those characteristics. But he differs from Hobbes in that he believes that humans have advanced intelligence, and that he uses his selfishness and lack of empathy to achieve the goals he sets for himself, justifying the means in the end he sets for himself.

Summarize the princess academy (gee I hate this book)
katrin [286]

At first, Miri keeps getting into trouble for talking back, even costing the other girls a visit home when she talks back to Tutor Olana (which makes everyone hate her). The only person who seems willing to talk to Miri is Britta, a girl who just moved to Mount Eskel from the lowlands (after her parents died) and is shunned by the other girls because they assume that she thinks she's better than them.

After some time though, Miri starts to excel at her lessons. She finds that she loves to read and spends all of her free time in the classroom going through Tutor Olana's books and reading about the history of Danland. She also starts to figure out how to use quarry-speech—the way that villagers communicate with each other silently when they're working in the quarries.

She often hears the other girls—especially an older girl named Katar—talking about how annoying she is, but Miri ignores them and continues to excel in her lessons. When it comes time for spring holiday, Tutor Olana springs an exam on the girls and says that only the girls who pass will be able to go home. Miri and Katar pass, but Miri thinks that it's unfair for the other girls to have to stay behind, so she uses quarry-speech to tell them all to run, and they scamper back to the village even though Tutor Olana protests.

laiz [17]
There is only one sentence which needs a semicolon added to be correct, and that is <span>5) Water is not everywhere it's miles away.
As you can see, the way this sentence is written, something seems wrong - words are just mixed around incoherently. This is why we need a semicolon to make things more accurate: Water is not everywhere; it's miles away. </span>
