Answer: Hobbes believed people were naturally selfish and violent.
<u>Further explanation</u>:
Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people. But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.
Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in <em>Leviathan </em> in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War. He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and evil toward one another as a result. Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.
John Locke published his <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government </em>in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England. 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, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.
In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way. If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way. Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved. Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith. But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke. :-)
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The reason for the United States of America's departure from Vietnam in 1973 was that President's Nixon administration was already under heavy scrutiny and criticism for maintaining the United States troops installed in South Vietnam.
After very difficult moments such as teh Tet Offensive, the American society in general, and the young Americans in particular, started to seriously question the participation of the United States Army in the Vietnam War, concluding that was not a US war. They started to demand the withdrawal of the US troops from Vietnam and organized many protests and marches to demand action on the part of the federal government.
Finally, in January 1973, a peace agreement was signed and the US started to withdraw its troops. The process lasted until March 29, 1973.
However, the United States contib¿nued to support
South Vietnam, applying the foreign policy of containment to impede the spread of Communist over South Vietnam.
