John Locke thought that people were neither good nor bad innately. How did Hobbes’s views differ from those of Locke’s?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:  A) Hobbes thought  people were innately 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 violent 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.   :-)

enot [183]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

`The Restoration brought back Monarchy to England, Wakes, Scotland and Ireland on May 8th, 1660. Charles II was crowned king of England. The restoration took a lot of work, the structure that existed before the Commonwealth was restored, the House of Lords of reinstalled, the Church of England was restored and the ministers too.

The Parliament of England passed the Act of Uniformity in 1662 that prescribed the form of public prayers, administration of sacraments and other rites of the Church of England.

When other clergymen such as Presbyterians refused to take the oath they were expelled of their positions in an episode known as the Great Ejection.

Why does anyone turn to terror as a tool of persuasion?
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Although terrorism has often been portrayed as low intensity warfare, it also can be visualized as a form of persuasion, one frequently ineffective due to logical fallacies. Successful persuasion is dependent on the interaction of four elements: speakers, arguments, situations, and audiences. Terrorism constitutes a type of rhetoric in which terrorist speakers communicate with media audiences, using symbolic violence as a means of argument.
