The Prince: Learning what is Right and what is Wrong


The Prince
Written in 1513
In Italy
By Machiavelli
Medium: Paper

           The Prince, written by Niccoló Machiavelli, was one of those books printed by the Printing Press. Though, this book has something about learning that it can illustrate as well. Machiavelli wrote this during a time of governmental stress to share his knowledge on how a Prince (and, along with that, the government) should act and what they should do.
           Even though I don’t agree with everything that The Prince said about how a government should be ruled, it was a step forward in solving the government problem. This is a different type of learning where Machiavelli realizes that something is wrong and needs to be fixed and learns better how to do that.
