What were the main sources of information that Machiavelli used for his book?

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: The Prince (Italian: Il Principe [il ˈprintʃipe], Latin: De Principatibus) is a 16th-century political treatise written by the Italian diplomat and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli as an instruction guide for new princes and royals. The general theme of The Prince is of accepting that the aims of princes – such as glory and survival – can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.[1]

From Machiavelli's correspondence, a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (Of Principalities).[2] However, the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was carried out with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of The Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings".[3]

Although The Prince was written as if it were a traditional work in the mirrors for princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative. This is partly because it was written in the vernacular Italian rather than Latin, a practice that had become increasingly popular since the publication of Dante's Divine Comedy and other works of Renaissance literature.[4][5]

The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the "effectual" truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It is also notable for being in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time, particularly those concerning politics and ethics.[6][7]

Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works and the one most responsible for bringing the word Machiavellian into usage as a pejorative. It even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words politics and politician in Western countries.[8] In subject matter it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. In its use of near-contemporary Italians as examples of people who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics, another lesser-known work by Machiavelli which The Prince has been compared to is the Life of Castruccio Castracani.

What are your thoughts about the media? please list pros and cons

Mars2501 [29]

Answer: Like everything, social media use has pros and cons.

Pros:

You meet people on social media you’d never have a chance to meet offline. You network with like-minded people from all walks of life.

Social media is educational. When I find content shared on social media I want to reference in blog posts or learn new information for blog posts I’m writing, I read it.

Social media is informative. For instance, I learn about trending news on Twi.tter.

Social media can be profitable. In fact, I’ve sold books on Twi.tter.

Social media is great for lead generation. I promote my email list all the time on Insta.gram and Twi.tter.

Social media is fun! I get out my creative side by making Insta.gram Stories, and the Stickers and GIFs are cute.

Free tools exist to help you. In fact, Buffer posts at optimal times. Free graphic design tools help you make appealing graphics.

Cons:

Social media is addictive.

Social media drains time.

Social media can be costly. I keep shopping! Also, if you pay for a boost in content visibility, it’s not free. Tools can be pricey as well.

Social media can have rules. Insta.gram bans people for 3rd-party app use and Qu.ora criticizes people if they link they’re link dropping and not helping.

Hope this helps...... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! :D
