    disaster‚ people’s true human nature emerges. Unlike the view of Gandhi‚ in these moments humans behave violently and are concerned with self-interest‚ supporting the Athenian’s view of human motivation. In the History of the Peloponnesian War‚ Thucydides gives ample support of this view of human nature.

Machiavelli‚ however‚ had a negative view on human nature and made the

For example‚ you may be having a great day
