John Locke vs Thomas Hobbes

Locke vs Hobbes John Lockes belief in natural rights are fructify in terms of natural rights because he believes in granting immunity, in every sense of the word, equality and is a firm supporter in Democracy. Locke and Hobbes conflicting views are at their most basic form, to believe reality or not. Locke believes that men will, with given freedom be perpetually good. Hobbes believes otherwise, saying that men, in the state of record will fight all of the time.Corny as it sounds, their conflicting viewpoints remind me of the age old struggle amidst good and evil. John Locke with his new enlightened sense of thinking in Democracy and Hobbes with his belief in more of an Autocracy, or an absolute monarchy, stuck in the thinking of the dark ages. That is why Lockes views on all men being equal, everyone being born into freedom, democracy at its most basic form and the general truth in human beings are inherently, right.Reading excerpts from John Lockes book, you will find lots o f his arguments on equality and freedom of mans basic rights, are eerily similar to the foundation of which American government was formed, in the declaration of Independence. If many of the greatest men in our countries history believed so much in Lockes points on equality and self-reliance that they decided to copy these ideas into the document from which they would create one of the most successful countries in the history of the world, and so shouldnt it bear in ones mind that these ideas are important?That they are too a certain course right? These are just examples of the power Lockes book has on those who truly read it. He proves, again and again that with the belief in the genuine good in men, there will be slight conflict as long as everyone is equal. I personally believe that is one hundred share correct. As much as there are plenty of bad people on this earth, the piddling crimes and small infractions of the law, with full equality and freedom to all rights, the g ood of men would overcome these small difficulties, and be better for it.
