Enlightenment

I agree with Katie. I think Competition, though described by Hobbes as a bad thing and is the main contribute to civil war, is actually something positive. Hobbes says that competition leads to innovation, change, invention and new ideas and difference. Since when are these bad things? Hobbes states that these negative, I disagree. Innovation and change are positive, they incite change that is usually for the better because if the current state is so perfect then why would people be thinking of new ideas? The answer is, it isn't. I think that only if the state is in a place where it is unsatisfactory or unpleasing for and to the people will said people think of the new ideas.
