Hobbs and Roseau‚ if having the chance to study The Ideal City‚ would have two conflicting viewpoints. Overall‚ Hobbs had a more pessimistic view of society. He believed that mankind is inherently evil; each man will see to it that he outdoes the next man. Since the best chance of survival to win dominance over one another‚ every neighbor‚ friend‚ and relative is a rival.

Thomas Robert Malthus’ perspective on population growth is peculiar today because it is different‚ bold‚ and not widely accepted. While I do not agree with all of Malthus’ opinions and conclusion on reproductive health I think he had some valuable points. Firstly‚ it is unfair for Malthus to assert that "human beings‚ like plants and subhuman animals‚ are ’impelled’ to increase the population of the species by what he called a powerful ’instinct‚’ in the urge to reproduce."
