https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh Both Locke and Hobbes have very different views on human nature. Based on the Socratic Seminar and the two readings explain your life-ready learning. Where do you see these ideas applied? Do you think LCS has a Hobbesean or Lockean view of human nature? Why do you think that? en-us 2018-01-16 15:32:09 UTC 2025-11-13 23:32:34 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221763533 I think we have more Locke's than Hobbes at Lakefield because Locke is more focused on the idea of laws and government. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:08:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221763533 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770142 At school there were more Hobbes ideas were students respected the rules as there were strict consequences. The they took a more are back Locke approach in september with the new late policy. But they saw that it didn't work so now they have a stricter deadlines and consequences for failure to meet requirements.]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770142 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770219 I think that Lakefield has a Locke-like way of existence. Given the right chain of events, I think that any system or community could fall into either mindset (Locke or Hobbs). ]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770219 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770326 I feel like Lakefield has a more Locke kind of view on human nature. A good example of this would be vaping, when I was in grade 10 the school couldn't punish kids for vaping and now if your caught vaping you get suspended. This is evidence that the school adapts and makes rules based on the bad things the school body does. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770326 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770359 My life-ready learning is that decisions are made with experience, influence and power. These ideas apply to everyday life because no matter what path you take, you have to decide what is morally right. I think LCS has more of a Locke point of view because it is a boarding school, and there has to be some sort of strong structure in terms of rules and social hierarchy.  This is what makes our school such a well-knit community. With this mindset, our school has gained a remarkable reputation worldwide and people remember LCS to be a school with good values.]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770359 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770524 I think Lakefield has a more weight on Hobbesean view of human nature. There is a major difference between this year's later policy and last year. Lockean's idea was used.]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770524 jtucker12 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770544 I believe we have more of a locke view on rules and engagement. We look upon higher powers to guide us throughout our time here. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770544 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770617 From analyzing the Hobbs vs Locke situations, we've come to a conclusion that we're able to work better in a Hobbs era because everyone is on the same page and everyone is aware of the consequences. The only way a Locke era could be made possible is if everyone is united together, which becomes very unrealistic because everyone just wants to one up each other and then all chaos breaks out. I believe Lakefield has gone from Hobbs to Locke to Hobbs because of the late policy. We've realized that no one will do their work on time if there are no consequences on deadlines. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770617 aprindivillepor https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770628 At Lakefield, we use a combination of Locke and Hobbes' ideologies. For example, we believe that all humans are born good, but when they prove otherwise, rules are strictly enforced. We find success in the grey area between the extremes. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770628 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770646 Lakefield is more of a Locke styled school.

There are rules in place for a reason. We are faced with consequences when we do not do the right thing. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770647 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770740 I see these ideas applied in the legal system, the way that LCS is run and even when an individual is driving a car. Our society is set up to believe that human beings can and will do bad things if they are able to and this is the idea that Hobbes was pushing. We have a legal system because people do bad things and because people believed that others could harm them or suspected this. LCS is run in both a Hobsian and Lockian way. When you first get to LCS you are treated as being a naturally good individual. However out school DOES have rules meaning that the school suspects that individuals are a little bit bad. I can see the Hobsian view of things in driving as there are two licensing levels one needs to go through to get a G license. We have rules for driving meaning the Ministry of Transportation believes that individuals do bad things. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770740 tgushue https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770752 Lakefield would have started off with a Locke style of governing. Would have been relatively relaxed with rules. As years go on, and kids continue to push the rules, the Lakefield style of governance would move towards a Hobbs style, and would continue to move more Hobbsean until students stop breaking rules.

Lakefield definitely has a much more Hobbean method.]]> 2018-01-16 16:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770807 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770845 I think a hobbesean mind ]]> 2018-01-16 16:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221770845 ihall4 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221771411 We are more of a Locke Styled school, as Hobbes thinks that if there are no rules we were to all just go crazy and do what we are not supposed to do. We on the other hand do not have a mass of rules to cover everything that can possibly happen, but when an issue does arrive we deal with it and then create a rule so it does not happen again, and that is our Locke side. ]]> 2018-01-16 16:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221771411 https://padlet.com/rgilfillan/tkchwb90k0kh/wish/221771491 After discussing what situation would best fit for Lake field is the Lock Era just because we as a community share the same mindset

We used to have due dates, making LCS lead toward the Hobbs side, then they lifted the due date, shifting toward the Locke side, but then rebelieved in the in Hobbs by recreating the due date/ zero system.
