Human nature is not simply a measure of our human tendencies. It is both individual and collective. It doesn't explain why the events happen. Instead, it explains each individual's subconscious at the time events occur. The social order that best corresponds to human nature is one in which each person's informed opinions create decisions and provoke actions. Madison's argument for and against factions, Aristotle's idea of ​​ultimate happiness, and Locke's concept of popular government and human rights all offer an important element to the broader concept of nature. human. Although some may argue that we will only fully understand human nature when we encounter death, we can nevertheless begin to gain a slight understanding of what governs human nature and the political order that helps it thrive. Initially, when we read James Madison, we learn the nature of factions. Factions play an important role in human nature because they convey opinions. The opinion of a single individual is not enough to bring about change. Factions solve this problem by uniting like-minded people and allowing them to call for change. Madison realized the implacable strength of a faction allowed to grow unrestrained. They were dangerous because they were often violent and disruptive, often referred to as a "weakness of popular government." At worst, they lead to civil war and, at least, hinder the execution of public policies. If he recognized that the easiest way to eliminate a faction was to destroy its freedoms, he knew that to do so would be to declare war on human nature. He also understood that taking away their freedom would mean taking away the freedom of others, which he did not want. Instead, he suggested controlling the effects of the majority faction...... middle of paper...... having seen human nature grow and change. Because human nature is dynamic, we must observe it throughout history. Human nature develops through faction, it is protected by just popular government, and its future is assured by the ultimate good. We live in human nature, we are human nature, and because of that we also change. We change as the world's ideas and opinions change. Through death we may come to fully understand human nature, but only by living will we use the power of our human nature to create the just world of tomorrow. Works cited by Aristotle and Joe Sachs.
