Two very important thinkers‚ Plato and John Locke‚ have varying views on politics and society. Both of their views contribute greatly to world politics and the United States politics. Plato values justice as the most dominant concept of society. In The Republic‚ he used the Greek word "Dikaisyne" for justice which can also be loosely translated to ’morality’ or ’righteousness’; it includes within it the duty of man. Justice is order and duty. It is a harmonious strength including the effective harmony

The state of nature according to Locke is “a state of perfect freedom to order their actions and dispose of their possessions and persons as they think fit... without asking leave or depending upon the will of any other man.” For Locke‚ the state of nature is where humans exist without an established government or social contract. In a since the state of nature is a state of anarchy‚ of no order. What John Locke believed about the state of nature was that if men could act in a positive way‚ they
