I find my self siding with Rebecca and Meghan. I think that the points that Hobbes made about reason and speech is more important than the points he made about competition. Competition, i do agree, is an important quality to have in a state, however it isn't as much as a necessity as reason and speech is in my opinion. Through reason people can develop skills and ideas and present them through speech. Everyone part of the community they live in should be aloud to speak their mind and judge what they think is right and wrong in their society.
