Locke.pdf please consider, research and comment on the following in a 3–4-page essay (please note we are using ESSAY formatting going forward): 1. Who was John Locke and when was he writing? 2. What is Locke's impression of man and why?  Please include a few quotes from the reading that support your answer.         NOTE: In this part of Locke's discussion, he mentions that "Reason teaches all mankind.. that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another."  What does he mean by this? What is it about man's natural state/ability that leads to knowing that peace is better than violence? 3. How does Locke describe "nature"?  And, what does Locke mean when he says "Reason is the law governing the state of nature?"  What is "reason" and how is that a defining element between Locke's man and Hobbes' man? Feel free to use quotes from both authors to support your position(s). 4. One defining feature of Locke's commentary is the importance of property.  How does Locke define property? Because of Locke's emphasis on property, he has often been cited by America's founding fathers as the basis for our own emphasis on property as part of the American Dream.  What is your impression of property in American life? What are some good and not-so-good aspects of property as part of our American political culture?  Please use some quotes from Locke to support your position(s).        NOTE: In this part of Locke's essay, he also addresses the negative practice of  wasting precious resources.  Where might we see this in today's American culture? 5. If nature is governed by rational people, according to Locke, what's the problem? Why would man leave nature and form a civil society (social contract)? HINT: the answer is in the module title :0). 6. What is the solution and who holds power in this new social contract, according to Locke?          NOTE:  Locke takes direct aim at Hobbes when he states "No government can be justified by the divine right of kings."  What does he mean by this with regard to how Hobbes saw man, nature and the need for the Absolute? And, how does this factor into Locke's solution and power structure for a proper social contract?  7. Finally, Locke ends his piece by stating that "THE COMMUNITY BECOMES THE UMPIRE."  What does he mean by this??
