Human conflict is always caused by such factors as poverty,
inequality, injustice to mention a few. However, the political
views between various philosophers differ particularly in the
area of human conflict. Locke and Hobbes are two great
philosophers who differ in terms of their political views
specifically about the conflict. Lock believes that man is by
nature a social creature whereas Hobbes tends to believe
otherwise. In this case, he claims that man is not by nature
social and could not exist without the power of the state. On the
other hand, Locke claims that peace is the norm. Therefore he
advocates that we should live in peace. Hobbes, however,
believes that human beings can only distinguish good and bad
by subjection of a common power. ( Bauman, & Briggs, 2003).
According to Locke, in the state of nature the human beings are
able to keep their promises and conform to their obligations.
Human beings are also considered to know what is right or
wrong. This being the case they are therefore capable of
distinguishing between lawful and unlawful. This however
means that they are capable of resolving conflicts. Hobbies on
the contrary believe that people through their knowledge of
objectives have weak resolution to such answers as to what is
bad or wrong. Therefore human beings in their state of nature
are not able to differentiate what is theirs and what is someone
else’s.
Both philosophers share some political views on the way of
ending all conflict. They both believed that bad happening
should be prevented. In this case, Hobbes supported unlimited
power for the state with the aim of resolving the conflict.
Similarly, Locke argues that if people whereabouts are not

6. controlled, this will lead to conflict. Therefore he says that it is
the duty of the state to curb such related conflicts. Even in
modern world it the duty of the government to enact rules,
policies to control conflicts in the society. This is because
conflict is inevitable and to reduce its impact bad people should
be punished by being subjected to justice. (Fridlund, 2014).
