In early April 15, 2016, I took my kids to our favorite Vietnamese restaurant, the Simply it, on a “happy Friday” when they don’t have school. The restaurant is located on a busy street at 2269 North Lincoln Park Avenue, right next to Starbuck Coffee, not too far from my daughter’s future high school, Lincoln Park.

The state of nature is a theoretical state in which there is no government formed yet. Each author speaks on how he believes humans interact or act individually in this state. The social…

government form was not agreed upon and never utilized. Thomas Hobbes firmly believed in the necessity of an absolute leader to control the competitions of wealth and power left in the absence of a supreme ruler.
