France‚ November 19‚ 1916 Dear Martha‚ I am writing this bilious letter from the deep trenches and piles of dead bodies the most recent battle‚ the Battle of the Somme has left behind. Before you worry‚ I am doing quite well‚ considering the bit of shrapnel that got stuck in my head while I was running among the yelling men‚ bloodied bodies and screaming explosives.

cognitive development‚ several theories have been put forth by many different philosophers‚ psychologists‚ and other scientists. The two most significant theories‚ which were first explored by the Greeks‚ were later debated between John Locke‚ and Rene Descartes.

They each had their separate ways of thinking and perusing things. Human life was obviously the problem and each of them had different perspectives on dealing with the issue. Thomas Hobbes was a political philosopher and believed that people were self-centered. He believed that everyone should be treated equal and that no one man is better

The world today is a combination‚ a blend of the two extremes fleshed out by the four authors we studied. St. Thomas and Locke display a world viewed through rose colored glasses. As much as people today want to believe that everyone exhibits behavior that Locke and St. Thomas consider good if they are left to their own devices with only laws to keep them in place‚ it is an unrealistic view of the world as we know it. In order for the world to run effectively‚ people have adopted a system closer
