Great responses! I liked how John Locke believed in natural rights. He felt that every human was born with a blank mind and learned from their environment. I feel that knowledge is something that can be learned from the environment. For example, my grandparents never finished school and they learned so much from their surroundings and experiences to survive. Another philosophe that I found interesting was Voltaire. He believed in freedom of religion and free speech. He opposed the French government and Christianity. He felt "all men are brother under God". According to Western Civilization, he is considered "the greatest figure of the Enlightenment". On another note, have a great time at the Polynesian! We went there a couple of years
