Actual Text 1
"For Machiavelli, and later for Thomas Hobbes, the individual person is wicked, fearful, brutish,and cunning, words which became the anthropological vocabulary of modernism."
Response:
I think that due to the events witnessed this view of the individual was formed. However, it goes hand in hand with no one being perfect, and humanity as a whole flawed. But, this is not applicable to all persons and I think that is often the case. Just because the events in Italy were bad for Machiavelli there is still always a positive choice, it may be the harder of the two but it does exist. People are intrinsically good in my opinion, ad those who have bad can learn to be good. I do not believe that everyone has bad intentions but that sometimes the situations they are forced in makes them behave accordingly which is unfortunate. But if you look around there are good people everywhere.
Text 2:"The businesses foster communion with employees by paying particular attention to their health, well-being, and development."
Response 2:
This stood out to me because one of the biggest lessons you learn in GSB is that fair treatment of employees is crucial. Any successful business case study we have done has had a business that not only pays their employees the fair wage, but also has amazing packages for vacation, child accommodations, understanding absences. This reason is because a happy employee is a good employee. By showing that you as an employer genuinely care about what is going on in your employees life, and their well-being you are creating a connection of loyalty that they will notice and thus they will not only have incentive to work but they will have a valuable reason to stay with your company.
