Human Nature

I think that Hobbes was right in many ways, but like Nick was saying I think he was wrong when it comes to competition. Competition can be seen as the reason for why we cannot peacefully coexist among each other, but it can also be seen as the reason for why we have so much technology. It can be seen as the reason for why the majority of us are not starving and that we have shelter. Competition has caused man to constantly strive for the better. Our race may have died out if it had not been for our nature to compete constantly with one another. We certainly could not have come this far with shelter and getting food and clean water to each other if it had not been for our nature to do it better then someone else. We constantly found and find new ways and stronger ways to build houses and produce food. Considering that there are over 6.8 billion people on the earth without more advanced ways of producing food and shelters caused by competition. Who knows where people would be or even if our race would still exist?
