This is a very philosophical question, so it requires your own opinions and reasoning. I will help as much as I can for you to develop your thoughts, but I cannot write them for you.

One of the most important things for you to reference in question two is the natural state of man. How was it like? Are we peaceful and individualistic, as John Locke states in Two Treatise of Government, or are humans selfish and natural life would be "nasty, brutish, and short" as Nicolo Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes state in The Prince and The Leviathan (respective titles)? Why is this so?

These philosophers also give a reason as to why government is necessary for humankind. For Locke, it is to protect the people from larger threats. For Hobbes, it is to make man civilized. For Machiavelli, it is for a leader to align their self-interest with those of the people and make a prosperous community.

Greater excitability of the ______ may explain why people with phobic disorders experience more fear in response to threatening

goblinko [34]

Greater excitability of the "amygdala" may explain why...

The amygdala is fundamental for deciphering feelings, especially threatening stimuli. Outer stimuli travel to the amygdala by means of two distinctive pathways, which supplement one another. A short, uncertain course originates from the thalamus, which gets sensory stimuli and enables us to get ready for potential threat before knowing precisely what the threat is. A more exact course originates from the medial prefrontal cortex, the zone of the mind that is associated with the final phase of dread, in which the cerebrum responds to risk and picks a plan.
