Answer: Machievalli is a modern thinker. It means that he did not hold medieval view on human nature. He was absolutely aware of unethical (unethical or amoral from the perspective of Christian morality) aspect of human nature. Humans have their ethical principles, but in fact their own nature is much more different and sometimes he/she can follow amoral principles (from the Christian point of view) and his/her actions can be effective. So, to be effective sometimes it is necessary to be unethical. This is a pure pragmatism that is required in politics. In this respect Machiavelli is a modern thinker.

Explanation: Machiavelli was quite ahead of his time, because he did not work with exaggerated ideals (Christian concept of human being contains exaggerated criterions for human behaviour). Politics and morals do not go hand in hand.

As for human nature, Machiavelli is under no illusions: it is p/erverse, cruel and treacherous, and anyone who seeks power must accept this fact. In order not to be betrayed, the ruler must believe that everyone is a traitor and, before being loved, he must be feared.

Which of the following illustrates the concept of civic virtue?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

D is likely the only one that you can get rid of immediately. It benefits you. It does not benefit the society in general.

A is subtly the same thing as D. If you make the economy grow, the first individual who will benefit from it is you. That statement is up for argument, because you could contribute to economic growth without benefitting yourself, but there are better answers.

C The founding fathers would mildly disagree with you. They saw the need for government strength but not at the cost of individual rights. Again you could argue this as civic duty, but there is a better answer.

B The answer is B. The "common good" does not need to involve money or government. It is simply doing what is right for everyone.

liq [111]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In the late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, a group of rich and influential lawyers in Santa Fe, New Mexico, amassed fortunes through bribery and corruption acts such as frauds in selling land. They were known as the "Santa Fe Ring."

These corruptive actions generated the ire of people in Santa Fe, initiating the Lincoln County War on February 18, 1788, after the assassination of rancher John Tunstall. Santa Fe lived a period of violence and confrontations during those years.
