Document Summary
Individual human rights violations are permissible so long as the general public society, as a liberal democracy it protected the majority over the minority. Capital globalization promotion, canadian state policing, people- aggressive and peaceful. Undemocratic g20- people weren"t informed, meeting came without no informing public, no transparency- closed doors, decisions may affect citizens of countries. Locke-life liberty property- majority safety undermined by minority protesting public and within protesters, minority neoliberal institutions majority against, contracts- police who wronged citizens are held responsible and justifiably so. Therefore nothing can be unjust if it is required to be performed to live. This is due to the fact that there is no common power which means no law and therefore no injustice. As a result a passion for peace is brought about from fear of death. (chapter 13) in fact for hobbes this is a law of nature to seek peace and follow it.
