Speech

I agree with Rebecca that there is both good and bad in every one of Hobbe's reasons why humans cannot live socially. For example, Hobbe's believes that freedom of speech is something that is degrading towards human nature and will cause our society to collapse. It is true that when people speak out at the government or something else it can cause many problems. Though without speech life cannot move forward. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech started a fire in the people to stop being racist towards African-Americans. Hobbe's says that all people want peace and security. All people includes African-Americans, and when MLK gave his speech he was creating peace and security for them. That is one example of how speech can do good in the community, though Hobbe's thinks it is wrong.
