What is Machiavelll's view of human nature? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Negative view People are evil and cannot be trusted Recognizing humans depraved nature is the first step in attaining power  Like checks and balances Ambition checks ambition  

     Machiavelli stands in contrast to the several political thinkers that advocate a "natural state," a pre-social society determined only by human instinct and character. However, while Machiavelli never provides a picture of society without civil authority, he does present a cohesive, if not quite full, understanding of human nature.

    Machiavelli makes clear reference to a number of fundamental human characteristics. Individuals are typically self-interested, yet their affection for others can be earned or lost. They are comfortable and joyful as long as they are not subjected to sorrow or persecution. They may be trustworthy during good times, but during difficult times, they may become self-centered, deceptive, and profit-driven. They respect others' honor, charity, courage, and piety, yet the majority lack these characteristics. While individuals who have attained some level of authority exhibit ambition, the majority of people are content with the way things are and so have no desire to improve the status quo. After receiving a favor or service, people naturally feel compelled, and this relationship is rarely dissolved capriciously. Nonetheless, allegiances are earned and lost, and goodwill is never unconditional.

by Jack Finney
Explanation by Gahna Arora



The Third Level Introduction
The Third Level by Jack Finney is about the harsh realities of war. War has irreversible consequences thus leaving people in a state of insecurity. It is also about modern day problems and how common man tends to escape reality by various means. In this story, a man named Charley hallucinates and reaches the third level of the Grand Central Station which only has two levels.

The Third Level Summary
The story revolves around a 31 year old man named Charley, who experienced something weird. One day after work coming from the Subway, he reached the third level of the Grand Central station (which doesn't actually exist). He reminisces the entire experience with his psychiatrist friend Sam. Charley thought he experienced time travel and had reached somewhere in the eighteen-nineties, a time before the world saw two of its most deadliest wars. As soon as he realised what time he is in, he immediately decided to buy two tickets to Galesburg, Illinois; one for himself and the other for his wife. Unfortunately, the currency used in that century was different. Thus, the next day he withdrew all his savings and got them converted even if it meant bearing losses. He went looking for the third level but failed to find it. It worried his wife and the psychiatrist Sam who told him that he is hallucinating in order to take refuge from reality and miseries of the modern world which is full of worry. Charley thus resorts to his stamp collection in order to distract himself when suddenly one day he finds a letter from his friend Sam who had gone missing recently. Sam wrote that he always wanted to believe in the idea of third level and now that he is there himself, he encourages Charley and Louisa to never stop looking for it.

Answers

Answer:

c. genetically modified organisms (paragraphs 1 and 2)

Explanation:

In that passage, genetically modified organisms are formally defined. The reader is told that these kinds of organisms have had their DNA altered in order to achieve certain traits that will not be seen in other similar species. Genes possessing those particular traits are introduced through technologies like Recombinant DNA technology or Reproductive cloning.

following statements?
O Relaxing summer and fall holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.
O Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.
O Relaxing summer and fall holidays generally cause theft rates to increase.
Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause theft rates to remain steady.

Answers

The excerpt this question refers to can be found online. Since it is too long, I will not add it here. It belongs to the book "Freakonomics," by Levitt and Dubner.

Answer:

The conclusion concerning mood and honesty is best supported by the statement that follows:

B. Stressful fall and winter holidays generally cause payment rates to drop.

Explanation:

In the excerpt, we are told about a man who leaves a basket with bagels at different companies for employees to buy. He does not stay there to sell the bagels; he simply trusts people's honesty when it comes to money.

It turns out that people pay higher rates when they are in a good mood. However, after stressful holidays or when the weather is not that good, people tend to pay lower rates, and even the number of bagels stolen (not paid for) increases.  In other words, mood and honesty are connected.

"black wires

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130."
My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red, than her lips red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see l in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound
I grant I never saw a goddess go, -
My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And yet by heaven, I think my love as rare,
As any she belied with false compare.
"reeks"
