Blog entry #4 My final statement

I've explained my greatest beliefs to my best ability, hoping to change peoples minds about human nature for the better. So once again I'll tell you, don't under estimate humans most are much better then you might think. Someone might look kind of mean and not nice when actually they could actually be a very nice person. You might not change your mind and still have a negative out look on humans but, just think one day you might need help and one of those humans might be there to help you. Maybe then if not already you'll have a positive out look at humans. and as you read this remember our children are the blank slates of the future treat them well and they will turn out good. So please take my advise and use it wisely.

With hope, consideration,
and a good outlook,
John locke

blog entry 3, Understanding the cycle

Humans will do anything if its what they think Ill be most satisfying and keep them alive longest. That being said most people might think humans are greedy looking out for them selves but that's not always true. Our world is fill with blanks slates, also known as the human mind. When each child is born their given a blank slate sort of like a blob of clay the more that happens to the "clay" the more its shaped into an object. When you have a good teacher your clay model will become great. But you have a teacher that neglects to teach you good your clay model will not be as nice as others. Some clay comes out bad even with a good supportive teacher these rotten eggs were going to go down that path whether you were an outstanding teacher or not.  Then there's the shining stars that have outstanding natural talent that even when taught the wrong things know better and over come the rest. those are the clay models that are the best because they know the affects of a bad teacher so they will try there hardest to help there mini clay models down a great path to happiness and success. You might think that these people will have nothing in common... well then your sadly mistaken. There are few things these people have in common one being the way they want to be governed, every person based on how they feel about the way other humans are will base a government they find will best suit them.



All people who are governed have a responsibility to help improve their governed area by making selves heard by someone in a higher power. Because chances are if you aren't happy with something there are more people out there that are feeling the same way. When requesting a change some people wont be looking out for them selves alone but for others around they might see suffering from lack of happiness. This is a good example of people looking out for eachother instead of them selves alone.

Human nature doesn't control our actions it just hints to us what we want to do. We still have free will in deciding whether or not we take the bait. For example one cookie left you and your younger sibling want it. You want the whole cookie for your self but instead you split the cookie in half so you both can have some. Your human nature is telling you that you want the whole cookie but your morals and respect for others tell you to do other wise.

I feel the end to "The Lord of The Flies" was terrible because It doesn't show them in their normal state instead it put a group of kids on an island with NO FOOD and no adults to help keep order between the youngsters. The kids in this book first of all are too young to have a good understanding on what okay and whats not. For example killing Piggy, the one kid who still had his head on his shoulders. All of the other kids abandoned the kids who still had a good grasp on reality. The fact being, you don't have to kill each other in order to survive in fact killing each other will just make it harder. If I were to fix the ending I would change it so Piggy became the leader and helped to teach the other children good from bad because without being taught good from bad there's no way you can keep on the path to goodness.

Human nature is only an idea placed in your mind, when there's no punishment in place for your bad action, there will be more to follow.

These boys are true pure hearted humans! They look out for each other like family even though most don't even know each other. These boys are model citizens, and everyone should take note. Not only have they seen and experienced terrible awful things they still care enough for the others to lend a helping hand no matter how bad things got for themselves. Every human has the opportunity to be as caring and thoughtful as these boys if only given the proper environment to learn from. I'm not saying put children through these situations, I'm simply saying with some TLC every child can grow up a loving individual.

I am John Locke

I feel as though all humans deserve the benefit of the doubt. We all have choices to be good or bad. Even if we make bad decisions, that doesn't make us bad people. For example, Someone with a spouse and kids, that doesn't have a lot of money has the choice to pay off their house or buy something fun that they alone would enjoy. They choose to be selfish buy something fun and they loose their house. Even though they made the bad choice and didn't deal with what was important at the time, does not mean from the bottom of their heart that they are truly bad or evil. They simply chose something that would make them happiest at the time. Even if they knew it might not be best in the long run.
Every human should have the right to decide who they want to govern them for example the United States. If we have a higher power advising us on how to behave properly it will keep peace and order between humans.

As some people may find my theories crazy and no where near the truth, there are some who agree. The following is a link to a blog of someone else who agrees with my theories:

I was not the only person who explain my theories others wrote about them and put their own spin on how they think things work. Not only was the battle of good vs. evil mentioned but Dennis Prager a writer for the National review online, also mentioned how innocence to the truth can cause the greatest of evil to occur unknowingly.

Infants, so full of love, the most innocent stage of the human life. The begging of life, when there hasn't been enough time to inflect bad or evil thoughts upon the innocent beings. Now picture two kids at the age of 15. One child grew up in a home with parents who did everything with them. They went on trips and did things that were fun. Not only did the parents help the kid do good in school but supported their choices to do good things with their life. This child reaches adulthood with a good life ahead of them filled with a positive aspect on the future. On the other hand, the other child grows up in a home with one abusive parent and another that doesn't spend time with the kid. Allowing the child to do what ever they want including not doing school work. This child starts to fail their classes. As school gets worse they start hanging around with kids that give them a negative aspect on things. After all of the stress of school and home life the child grows up to become some one who hates happiness in others, so they then begin to punish happy people. The point of this example is to show that everyone starts off innocent but, with the wrong experiences can very easily be lead down the path to darkness.
