Critiquing The Criticism

The criticism for Hobbes is mostly factual and I agree with most of the criticisms because they are based off of evidence and past governments. However, the last piece of criticism is just an opinion. Even if Hobbes’ view on human nature is deemed as harsh or hopeless, he still attempts to make a government system that works for the people. For the critique of Locke, it is very similar to the criticism that Hobbes received. The first five points are understandable and are not biased. Our own nation has been through these struggles with Locke’s idea of government. On the other hand, the last point I disagree with. America will not become immoral because American society will become less Christian. People’s morals have nothing to do with religion and people who are not Christian are not proven to be more selfish or morally corrupt.
