On the contrary, Ilan Zvi Baron illustrates that “no state is homogenous and there are always minority populations. To presume that an absence of minorities is a prerequisite to stability and unity is empirically unfounded and morally questionable” (1040). In other words, to speculate that immigrants can conform to a single national identity is unreasonable. State stability does NOT rely on uniformity; this notion was developed due to an assumption that diversity is a cause of chaos (Baron 1041)…

Hobbes is not simply the most persuasive thinker through process of elimination; it is first because of his end goal of politics: security and safety. When he refers to these two abstract concepts, Hobbes does not skimp on explaining to what extent the sovereign is responsible for the people.…

Did you know the NSA’s budget includes a quarter-billion-dollar budget for information from corporations for information on the population? Foucault classifies power in terms of discipline and regulation, using the panopticon as an example of discipline where one is an enclosure and is observed with the possibility to be intervened on. Illustrating its efficiency in that it is not even essential for someone to be in the tower, but the mere possibility of it is enough to “discipline” someone.…

eventually regress us back to the state of nature. At last, if democratic theorists were to closely dissect Hobbes' political theory, we can fully grasp the risks of the liberal theory, for example, rivalry, doubt, eagerness and arrange a conceivable strategy for rationalizing our…
