John Locke’s theory is that a child is a blank slate that is only formed through experiences. This is an underlying theme throughout society overall. When analyzing today’s youth through the perspective of John Locke’s theory‚ we can begin to understand why education is important.

It is also important to cite Rawls’s conception of the ‘Veil of Ignorance’‚ which is part of Rawls earlier work. As Ben Rogers point out whilst analysing Rawls’s work‚ ‘The veil of ignorance is meant to ensure that our views on justice are not distorted by our own interests’ (…). In the case of the Iranian Revolution‚ it would have been valued if the Islamists would have adopted the veil of ignorance when writing the constitution.

“Without a social contract there would be no morality...” In this essay I will be debating whether moral motivation is purely existent as a result of a ‘social contract’ through an insight to conflicting philosophers’ hypothesis. The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes supported the idea that a social contract is necessary in order for a moral society to be attainable. Hobbes argued that morality would be non-existent within ‘a state of nature’. This is a society that lives in the absence of a social

The modern atomic theory was developed by many scientists‚ such as Neil Bohr‚ Democritus‚ James Chadwick and John Dalton. Each of these intelligent scientists have found different discoveries in their research with the atom. Why has scientific understanding of the atom changed over time? This would be because each scientist has had a different approach and has discovered new understandings from their research.
