Weekend Homework

For the weekend, please complete the following...

Now that you have the general idea of Hobbes' view of human nature, please consider the following questions (using your readings) and write down answers:

1.  What do people actually give up when they enter into the social contract?

2.  Look up the word "expedient".  Is Hobbes authorizing Machiavelli's standard of the "end justifies the means" for the leader?

3.  Look up the word "sovereign".  What does it mean to have sovereign power?

4.  In reading about the 2 different ways the sovereign gains power, are the people submitting by force or by choice?  Be careful!

Thursday Update!

Hello all,

C & D blocks--your homework remains the same for Thursday.  A & B blocks, please remember to bring all History sources from this term. 

To all of you!  Please ready Mr. Smith's assignment for class tomorrow.  He will be discussing everything with you D block and B block.  C & A blocks will be history classes. 

To be clear, we are combined for all classes still. 

Your final draft is due tomorrow!  Get it done and get it printed!

Additional homework:

For the readings Justification By Faith and On the Bondage of the Will, please work up answers to the following questions:

1.  What is it that Luther is using faith to justify?
2.  Why would this concept of 'Justification By Faith' anger the Church?  Why would people accept this idea willingly?
3.  How does Luther view the idea of "Free Will"? 

When completed these questions, read Condemnation of the Peasant Revolt, which is the 3rd reading of that packet.  Be prepared to discuss these readings!

If you want Mr. Smith's English assignment to complete on your computer, visit the Wiki Space and it is available for you as a 'Word' doc.
