machiavelli
Machiavelli views are extremely hard to comprehend only because they contradict with they way society views itself as of today. All people are brought up to follow leaders who have certain characteristics traits. Those who are being led have faith, respect and trust in their own leader. However, in ?The Prince,? Machiavelli, he uses the publics views on him to his own advantage but only in a negative way. Machiavelli, does not seem to trust anybody but himself and is always on the look out for other intruders in his righteous space. He does not seem to have a large ego; due to the fact that he is very insecure with himself. His insecurities, cause him to have eyes in the back of his head, so that he can find out everything about who, what where, when and how. When it comes to governing his land or to defending it, he is extremely strategic and analytical to his every move. Machiavelli?s, actions are caused by his self-concerned views of society and have also caused others to behave in his selfish ways. In an era were words took an extremely long time to spread, Machiavelli?s tactics to stay in power worked very well. In ?The Prince?, Machiavelli discusses two distinct groups of people, the political elite;
1) which includes nobles and other princes, and the general public. Today in the United States, the first group, the political elite, includes political leaders, religious merciful and not cruel? and how if a Prince must choose between being feared or loved, ?it is far safer to be feared than loved.? His views and tactics spawned what is now called Political Sience and his influence can be pinpointed throughout the current business world.
