The Lord Of The Flies By Jean Jacque Rousseau

In Rousseau’s mind, his idea of the current state of Nature was, "a minimal, simple, ordinary farming community or group without the worldly evils that were created by the shackles of common use, traditions and enslavement" (Grimsley 66). Jean Jacque Rousseau stated that our human Nature is good and should be free for all to develop. Our education, thus, has to be in sync and unspoiled with our human nature. By stating “human nature”, Rousseau meant our original and natural native instincts, habits and capabilities. He professed that a child learns best when they are free to develop and grow by their own personal natural impulses and instincts. The purpose of education is to save and preserve children's unique individuality, purity, goodness,

If the natural human individual is taken proper care of and taught so that their mental, moral, emotional, and physical capabilities are allowed to fully develop naturally and at the proper time. He looked to the individual rather than to the society to find the main purpose and goals of education. Rousseau argued against the idea of education that forced people to accept a societal norm of how to act. The novel he wrote, Emile, aggressively argues the spoken and written education that is predicted people to think, talk, and perform actions like an adult. The aim of his education is to "make teaching, learning, and educational, surroundings that enable the people to behave with natural goodness and have the knowledge and confidence to act with personal, unique, and natural character in society" (Grimsley 73).

"The teacher’s job was to help and guide the natural instincts instead of stating the societal norm to people" (Hendel 263). He emphasized that education was a method of developing an agreeable, reasonable, equal, helpful, and natural life. Rousseau created straightforward and direct strategies for education. He greatly emphasized that the use of objects to help teaching and stated "let their senses continuously show them the natural way, do not let them use a book, instead let them use the world and no alternative directions other than facts." (Boyd 61). Rousseau’s recommendation was that, "in general, one should never replace the sign for the problem at hand, instead save it and once it's unable to indicate the problem, and let them forget the problem shown" (Grimsley 27). Rousseau’s theories and philosophies have caused him to become more and more recognized in current education, and causes the best stress on teaching and education. He thinks a person should be instructed by natural life experiences and events, not by verbal lesson. He believed that letting people think and learn from their mistakes, was the simplest technique to allow a more fulfilled learning education. Rousseau’s initial idea was understanding a child's early life, and an uninformed person was the start of educational flaws. The teacher has to learn the habits, instincts, and thought process of their
