Thinker -- Blog 4 "Thats a Wrap"
Over the past few days, I've shared my thoughts and philosophies about human nature. My first blog included an introduction for myself, who I am, and my thoughts on human nature and what makes people tick. I shared my ideas on human philosophy, such as my belief in an altruistic society and how everyone is born with the required resources to survive. I also shared my thoughts on how a government should function as a third party; that their most important priority was to protect the natural rights of its people. I moved on to compare my philosophies and findings to recent events and pieces of literature. I found that even today, and even in books, my philosophies about human nature and how it affects us exists in plain sight. Even if the events seem tragic or unfortunate, human nature is still blatantly present in them. In my final post, I proceeded to further explain my findings, but also elaborate on how human nature is not a concrete thing; it simply persuades and guides people through their everyday lives. It was a great pleasure to share my findings with the world, and I hope that you, my readers, found them both helpful and informative. Thank you.

I would have to agree with Locke's point of view on human nature, but with a slight twist; that it all depends on your personal perspective of life and how life should work. I do believe that deep down, we all have that "good" part of us that wants to do good things just to be a good person. Yet it all depends on your opinion on what "good" really is. For some, what might be seen as a good thing could be seen as a terrible thing for others. Think of certain religious groups; they might think of acts that would end up killing people, but they think it would benefit the world as a whole and make it more likely for God (or a "god") to accept more people to heaven. Yet in other people's views, this act might seem tragic, horrifying, astounding, etc.

I was glad to read about all your findings and philosophies, John Locke, and I hope to find them useful in the future.
