If you are used to cold then cold here isnt cold up there

But he isnt used to hot at all. The hottest it gets in B.C is like 80-90. If that

He will hate it, i know i did

I hope Steve moves to Cali, that would be sweet. Not too sure how he'd like it down here though...

Then again, he wouldn't be Capt. Canada anymore, so I don't think it'll happen.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif midterm just posted..doesnt look fun. Not real difficult, but a fck of a lot of material to cover in a short period of time.

Essay Questions:

What are the difficulties facing a new prince, and how might they be overcome. Consider the Prince, chapters 1-11. What is the secret of the Hereditary Principality? What is distinctly modern in Machiavelli's account of the subjects?

What is virtue, according to Machiavelli? Consider especially the Prince chapters, 6-8. Be sure and contrast virtue and fortune. Is Agathocles virtuous, or not?

Summarize Machiavelli's advice in chapters 12-14. What does it all boil down to?

Describe the character of Machiavellian "morality" in chapters 15-23.

Describe Hobbes account of human nature and government in the Introduction and Chapters 1-6 of Leviathan. How does this account help prepare the reader for his political teaching?

Describe Hobbes' view of religion. Use Chapter 12, but look for other references in the sections that were assigned. Can you demonstrate one way or another what Hobbes's own beliefs were?

Describe Hobbes's view of the state of nature and of natural law, in chapters 13-15.

Describe Hobbes' account of the social contract and the establishment of government. Be sure to explain who are the parties to the social contract, and who is not.

Describe the character of the sovereign in the Leviathan. What limits, if any, apply to this sovereign power? Why does Hobbes think that such a sovereign is a good idea?

Oooooooooh, Machiavelli. The Prince is a good book, but I didn't really understand it the first time I read it when I was 15. I recently read it again, and now it makes more sense //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
