WAR
November 20, 2008
A society that has no laws would lead to a society of chaos. When there is nothing preventing people from doing whatever they want to whom ever they want this would be the most devastating thing that could happen. This society would lead to men killing each other not only in a personal conflict, but in conflicts against all of society. People would have to constantly watch out for themselves ultimately leaving the society in a constant fear of one another. It is a war that will never be resolved unless everyone is dead.

Unfortunately I have to agree that without laws humans would run rampant doing whatever they have to in order to fend for themselves. Hobbes says that a man by nature will take or do whatever they want in order to support themselves. Without a system of laws and contracts to keep people in order, a state of chaos is sure to ensue.
