John Locke believed that children are born with the ability to become anything or anyone they desire to become. They also have the ability to absorb anything being taught to them.

I think that both Thomas Hobbes and John Locke are justified with their views on human nature. I believe that human nature is both naturally good and bad but its nature is separate from the actions and beliefs of an individual. Most controversially‚ I think this can apply to the infamous Adolf Hitler. Evidently‚ Hitler possessed many negative natures‚ it seemed. Hitler was described as controlling and he was very greedy especially when it came to power which reflects the views of Thomas Hobbes.

1. Locke is arguing that even though God created matter; out of all the matter there is that can produce material things; those material things do not know God exists. Material substances as well as ourselves are not made to last eternally. Therefore‚ a person should not find satisfaction in materialistic things. Another part of Locke’s argument that I noticed is that a person cannot rely on these things to please God. Matter is constantly changing into different forms; while God does not. If we
