Social Principles

I agree with the social prinicples of Locke more than anything else because I agree with the principle of natural rights (life, liberty, property). In my last blog I identified my so called "trinity" (God, myself, and school) and there is some overlap here pertaining to the "myself" catagory. I feel as though I cannot properly take care of myself if my natural rights are violated. I also believe I have a right to worship God and the right to an education. With this perspective I can say that it is possible to live by both my personal principles as well the principles of Locke as well. I can do this by exceriseing my rights BUT also respect the rights of others in the process. For example, respecting other's believes that may differ from my own in society.

  1. I agree with you that natural rights are important and we need them. however i think we need a common ground, some where between marx and locke. if either side completely dominated it would not be for the better.
