Hobbes and Human Nature

I agree with Rebecca about how speech is important to society where it is both good and bad. Where it is good because of the way life has come to be with all the development in people to become on what it is today. The bad thing is that it will cause conflict between other people who are also speaking their idea causing disagreements and maybe argument on what they said. I think that speech is connected to reasoning because for all of the developments, people have back up their idea with one another. Freewill is also connected to speech and reasoning because if a person have freewill, then they are able to show their ideas and talk without feeling scared. People have a choice to either listen to one another if they agree. But there is a bad side to it if they don't agree with another person. They can do something bad like sabotaging the other group or they might not do anything about it and think it is just wrong. There could be a good and a bad result to having freewill just like Rebecca said about being able to have speech. I think that Hobbes' ideas of freewill does not show that it is sometimes good for people in society and gives people a chance for their own doing.
