Detailed explanation-1: -On account of the constant fear produced in the state of nature, Hobbes believes, it is reasonable to distrust others and use preemptive strikes against one’s enemies. Hobbes also considers humans to be naturally vainglorious and so seek to dominate others and demand their respect.
Detailed explanation-2: -Back in the mid-1600s, the philosopher Thomas Hobbes argued that the purpose of government is to maintain order. Without government, Hobbes argued, humans would exist in what he called a “state of nature” where life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”.
