    If men are equal, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau claims in the preface to his discourse on inequality (40), why do some men live in large lavish houses, while others struggle on the street, unsure of their next meal? The distance between the rich and the poor has been increasing steadily over the last decade, but in reality it has been expanding ever since man separated from Rousseau’s original state of nature. The state of nature is different than that which is natural, and within Rousseau’s state of nature, physical inequality is the only thing separating a man from another. Therefore, disregarding physical inequality, nature for man was equal and the state of nature provided an equal playing ground. As early as the preface, Rousseau realizes that in order for one to understand inequality, one must first attempt to understand man (39).…

    Denica @ Myat Thazin Khine Block – D 8 / 24 /2015 Journal-C: Question 2 Lord of the Flies is a novel, representing the weakness of man’s enterprises, showing us how men are born savages at heart, and the fact that corruption of men had nothing to do with civilization. J.J Rousseau had once said that “Nothing can be more gentle than man in his primitive state.” According to his statement, Rousseau believed that all men are born innocent, gentle and guiltless but eventually turned malevolence and savage within the years of living in the civilized world. In his eyes, he supposed that the existence of science and arts in our humanity had ultimately corrupted people from improving themselves.…

    Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a very influential Genevan philosopher in the early 18th century. Rousseau believed that man was born equal however society and advancements in mankind created inequality. Furthermore, Rousseau states that there are two different types of inequality; the first inequality being natural inequality, which is established by nature and consists in the difference of physical features and qualities of mind, and the second being political inequality, which depends on a kind of convection and is authorized by the consent of men. I agree with Rousseau’s argument that contemporary social relationships, such as monogamy, are not natural to human beings and that other forms of relationship would occur in other social arrangements,…

    Megan Hoffman The truth and importance of Gray Wolves Even under protective laws, Gray Wolves are still being killed! Although people tend to look down on wolves in general, it does not mean it's for good reason or acceptable. There is more to any creature then meets the eye, and for Wolves it is especially so. Gray Wolves are of a greater benefit then what we give them credit for and are often mistreated or otherwise viewed as something unwanted, unneeded, and ill-received. The Gray Wolf species has long been damned and slaughtered for minuscule infractions and illusions of identity despite how they are unlike their fabled counterparts, are viewed as "Spiritual brothers" by some Native Americans (Swinburne 10), and are beneficial to their…

    Rousseau’s “savage man” is essentially an animal in human form, living in nature among the wildlife and the elements, his body as his only tool, non-communicative with others, his instincts placing survival over interpersonal relationships, and pity serving as a surrogate for law. Mentally the savage man is very simple, knowing only food, sex, rest, and pain, and whether to desire or avoid these events. Rousseau further compares this version of humanity to the modern man, noting that “in becoming habituated to the ways of society and a slave, he becomes fearful, and servile; his soft and effeminate lifestyle completes the enervation of both his strength and his courage” and even contends that “the difference between the savage man and the domesticated man should still be greater than that between the savage animal and the domesticated animal” (pg. 23). Even the lack of a communicative language was a benefit to the savage man, keeping him free of civil societies, personal relationships, and a sense of duty to others. The savage man was free to follow his instincts and roam the land as he saw fit, only guided by the need for self-preservation and only limited by uncontrollable natural…

    Thomas Hobbes and Niccolo Machiavelli, both grappling with regional instability and constant war, arrive at different frameworks for handling man’s inherent propensity for conflict from very similar models of human behavior. Hobbes, watching his fellow countrymen fight each other during the English Civil War, decided that humans perpetually desire more power to secure their well-being and therefore incline toward warfare as a means to achieve this. Machiavelli, similarly accustomed to the restless Italian Peninsula, also labeled man as power-hungry and self-centered, always striving for enough freedom to ensure one’s prosperity. In the absence of the structure and organization provided by a government, a situation dubbed mankind’s ‘natural…

    Although complicated tasks were divided among workers, the workers become more dependent on one another. The division of labor among individuals allowed them to transform land into property, however an unequal distribution of resources emerged as not all individuals held the same talents and abilities as one another. Therefore, the use of resources were unequal since some individuals could benefit by being naturally gifted at their craft while others could find it difficult to survive in a nonsufficient market depending the needs of that community. The institution of property, according to Rousseau, is what adds to the political and social inequalities. It is important to note that Rousseau does not necessarily believe that property is the cause of these inequalities rather he points to the inequality of property as the main driven force behind…
