Thomas Hobbes And Sigmund Freud: Man Is Born Into Specific Behaviors

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Theories greatly differ when it comes to how and why people behave the way they do, with those like Hobbes and Freud believing man is inherently immoral and hard-wired to crumble under the ever-tempting pleasure principle; only by way of social constructs such as law, punishment/reward and learned behavior are humans capable of making choices that lead them to the high road of conduct. Indeed, Hobbes and Freud are correct in their views about basic human nature and how people are preprogrammed from the moment they are born. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
