  1. Like Anselm, I believe that God is a Supreme being and does exist; however I do not totally agree with his logic behind it. According to Anselm, it is logically impossible to have an "idea" of God without God actually existing. This claim, in my opinion is a bit far fetched. FQ: Machiavelli believed that success depends a lot on luck and that 50% of what happens to us is chance and 50% is a result choice. According to Machiavelli what is the way in which we can improve our odds of success? Answer: By acting bravely and swiftly. DQ: Do you agree with Hobbes that we all seek power over others? http://youtu.be/MW18XNFujLY

  2. We didn't discuss the class topic in group because we had to assure we had our project covered. With that being said Machivelli why was only impressed by the ruling of Cesare Borgia? A: He was ruthless, tricked people and took control over large part of Italy. DQ: Why did Hobbs have suck low view of human beings,why? A: Hobbs feels were all selfish, driven by fear of death and hope for personal gain...all of us seek power over others whether we realize it or not.

  3. What was the name of Niccolò Machiavelli's book that was published in 1532? (The Prince)

    Does success depend a lot on good luck?

    I believe that a supreme being exists but not just because we have an "idea" of God.

    I thought this was funny:
