Max Paine Common Sense

According to Thomas Paine, there a distinct gap with qualities of society and those of the government. He belieivs both have different origin, socity being produced by the general wants of the people while government is an evil, intolerable but needed in order for protection He states a government is founded on tainteing of innocence, in other words implying all government is corrupt. The benign society would not need a government if the mind of humans were clear.
I disagree with Thomas in the origin of society and government. I believe as population in a certain area grows, a government developes and etches a true society from the metaphorical rock that is the population. In other words government developes stable society. I do agree with Thomas that had a true "good" society be established a law giver would not be needed but this is not the case. Society would have the same flaws he accuses the government as having so therefore one is the "bad cop" per say to produce stability which becomes known as the "good cop".

The Pearl-Hw Entry

The Pearl by John Steinbeck, concedes an issue that has carried on for many generations. It brilliantly addresses the sin of avarice and how it can spread like an influenza through populations. Kino (a pearl fisherman), and his family lived in a traditional, ingrained society until Kino's finding of the "Pearl of the World" as it was called toppled the delphic roots of his society. Once the Pearl came to be Kino dreamed of better for him and his family but so did many others ignoreing the fact that the pearl had an owner. The once simple pacific place Kino knew was gone. The pearl ignited a chimera of opportunity in people far and near sucking society's purity and causeing neighbor to turn on neighbor erupting in raw, sanguinary conflicts to make their dreams a reality. This can be connected to today's world, although a much more impure place, still able to be stained with this dire sin. This Cupidity has emerged the enormouse coercion all over the world, feeding on the innocence of the unexpecting and manifesting itself in the physical forms of robbery, murder, human trafficking, etc...
