2. Humans need education, manners, and proper nurturing to help their natural good tendencies grow and develop; they respond best to kindness and good example.
3. Humans need laws to curb selfish impulses and should be encouraged to love others universally.
4. Are fundamentally lazy and selfish, and therefore need strict law and order to guide them and maintain stability.
