Pakistan society is Lockesian or Hobbesian world ?

Pakistan - United States Department of State

Locke’s believe in a state of perfect freedom without government. Where every one is equal no one is on controlling or authorities’ position, everyone is free to do whatever they want to do, no subordinates or anything like this. Rights of everyone will be protected no one deny them and no consent will be taken into consideration in any case. He is in favor of benevolent state where there is fair trade, joy, happiness, goodwill and quality.

On the other hand, Hobbes says when there is no government intervention so there will be violence, society will be brutal and chaotic and state of war against all will be seen because everyone will be looking for their own benefits and not caring for others. Humans are naturally selfish and greedy. Government should lay down the rules so that society remain in shape and people should follow them maintain peace and harmony.

If we talk about Pakistan according to my opinion, we live in Hobbes theory. Reason is that we can clearly see government in action, laws are there by authorities to be followed. If any situation arises its not the normal people who make their decision but its Pakistan government who come up with the final decision. We know that still there are violence and disturbance but government is there to resolve or look into this issue. If government won’t be there so their would-be worst condition.
