Milton from Office Space meme

English 11
Today we took a look at the three big thinkers on human nature. Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau each have a take on why we act the way we do. Here are the readings we took a look at during class time:

  1. Hobbes (Leviathan)
  2. Locke (Tabula Rasa)
  3. Rousseau (Noble Savage)
Right now, we're leaning towards Wednesday being our first composition day. I won't ask you to write a complete composition in one class, so we might use Wednesday and Thursday for this - possibly Friday if we need the time. Please be well-read on these three concepts before moving on to the composition.
