Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince. Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not w

in love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated, which will always be as long as he abstains from the property of his citizens and subjects and from their women. But when it is necessary for him to proceed against the life of someone, he must do it on proper justification and for manifest cause, but above all things he must keep his hands off the property of others, because men more quickly forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony. Besides, pretexts for taking away the property are never wanting; for he who has once begun to live by robbery will always find pretexts for seizing what belongs to others; but reasons for taking life, on the contrary, are more difficult to find and sooner lapse. But when a prince is with his army, and has under control a multitude of soldiers, then it is quite necessary for him to disregard the reputation of cruelty, for without it he would never hold his army united or disposed to its duties. What impact do the words feared and hatred have on the meaning of the passage?

Answer:

They suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

Explanation:

The given excerpt is taken from the book titled "The Prince" written by Niccolo Machiavelli. The purpose of the book was to serve as a guide to the new rulers whose intention is to gain complete control.

<u>In his book, Machiavelli argues that good qualities such as virtue is not effective rather fear is</u>.  

In the given excerpt, Machiavelli has made repeated use of the words "fear" and "hatred." The usage of these words suggests that a ruler should inculcate fear  in his subjects and avoid hatred. Because subjects those who fear the ruler will obey him but the subjects who hate the ruler will stand against him.

So, the ruler who is feared will be able to retain the power than the ruler who is hated.

Name some pros and cons about personality disorder
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

In general terms, a personality disorder means that the person doesn't get things the same way we usually do, in other words, that person has a rigid and unhealthy pattern of thinking, functioning and behaving.

That said, some of the - let's say - symthoms can be: a pervasive distrust and suspicion of others and their motives , unjustified belief that others are trying to harm or deceive him, suspicion of the loyalty or trustworthiness of others , hesitancy to confide in others due to unreasonable fear that others will use the information against him/her, among several other things according to the type of disorder, which they are several, and with proper care; they might become a tool eventually, I wouldn´t say they are pros per se.
