John  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, which includes choosing to form governments to make life and society better.  

His political philosophy was rooted in "social contract" theory.  According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government </em>(1690).  In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.

List and describe the four major threats to global security.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Global Terrorism, Governmental Instability, Overseas Conflict, Kidnap & Extorion

Explanation:

Global terrorism is an unfortunate reality of our time. These indiscriminate and targeted acts can result from multiple terrorist organizations, small groups, or  individuals. These attacks can attack any individual, entity, or company at any time and can target anywhere in the world.

The constant pace of the modern world and the unpredictability of national, regional, and global development can lead to regional  or national events with short-term, widespread consequences. Partly due to diplomatic and government failure in certain areas and accessibility to information and communications available to governments, public sources, opposition political organizations and the general public.

Armed conflict is intensifying in many  parts of the world, and without exception, in many parts of the world, it has continued in some way uninterrupted after both World Wars. In this modern era, there are more than 280 different armed conflicts around the world, with  conflicts between 3052 and 3052 each in the last 20 years.

More than 21,000 abductions are reported worldwide each year, 26%  in Africa, 24% in Latin America, 16% in the Middle East, and 3%  in North America and Europe combined. However, these numbers are growing rapidly and continue to pose a threat around the world.

Was andrew jackson hero or villainessay about
vodomira [7]
Who really was Andrew Jackson? Most people know that he was a United States president and a war commander. However, he was much more than that. He was a self-made man that didn't come from money or power. He was a major slave owner. Also, he and his brothers were in poverty when they were younger. He was a lawyer in Nashville, Tennessee. Jackson made inadequate choices during his presidency. In my opinion, Andrew Jackson was a far bigger hero than a villain.<span>
