Answer:

Matters really what god or goddess you are talking about.

Explanation:

Zeus- wise, protective, stern, not a great husband, he carries out the wall of fate and keeps balance, doesn't make friends.

Hera - nagging, all seeing, but also compassionate, jealous and possessive, better at reconciling marriages that aren't her own.

Poseidon - moody, tempestuous, clever, creative, fond of beauty and mystery.

Demetra - Kind, gentile, loving and nurturing, wrathful and protective of her children.

Hades - patient, calculating, stern, unyielding, merciless but just and fair.

Hestia - quiet, king, humble, protective.

Athena - Strong, wise, creative, protective

Apollo - Philosophical, defender

Artemis - wild, untamed, young, innocent, given to temper, fondness of the wild.

Ares - Cruel, violent, brave, called a "double faced liar" by Zeus

Aphrodite - romantic, sweet, loving but can also be jealous and wrathful, unfaithful

Hephaestus - insecure, creative, clever, sad

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

I just wanted to say the Percy Jackson series are great for Greek mythology :)

Greek Gods and Goddesses had either very sour personalities or were very motherly or tender. They all shared one quality in which they are all beautiful humanoids with great power and when angry, they are very angry. They can all "morph" and shape shift and all have something they are in charge of such as Zeus - Lord of the Cosmos and lightning and sky, Aphrodite - Beauty and love, Hermes - Literature and thieves, Hera - Queen of the cosmos, motherhood and marriage etc

In a city, you will drive about __________ in the course of 10 to 15 seconds.

Ivanshal [37]

The correct answer is B) one block.

In a city, you will drive about one block in the course of 10 to 15 seconds.

That is why you have to take your precautions when driving in a city or downtown. Traffic is high in the rush hours and it could take longer. When driving in the city, you need to remember some guidelines that you learned during your driving lessons such as the space between cars, the speed limit, when to use the horn, and scan the road when you are about to maneuver.

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.

Further explanation:

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 Leviathan 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 Two Treatises on Civil Government 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. :-)
