Locke
My name is John Locke. I believe that everyone should support Freedom, Liberty and Fraternity. These are basic rights that should never be taken away. Even if order and security are questioned, one must the right to be free. Order, Security, and Efficiency can still be obtained with the consent of those being governed. One can work in a safe environment and be free. For example, one can have freedom of speech, the press and expression and can still have order in society. Another example could be a mill. The mill workers are a fraternity. They work together, and support each other like they were each others brothers. The mill workers are also very efficient, they will pump out good after good everyday. They are provided security by the mill owner but are also provided freedom and liberty in the form of lunch breaks, the right to converse with each other and wages according to each others job. I, John Locke believe that it is possible to both have liberty, and freedom, while still maintaining order and security. It is imperative that the government listen to the consensus of the people and grant them both Freedom, Liberty, and Fraternity as well as Order, Security, and Efficiency.

ReplyDeleteFellow Philosphe,
I do not believe that humans should be given the right to be free; they are barbaric. They will turn the world upside down to get something that they want. They are cruel. The more you give them, the more greedy they will become. If you give them freedom, they will come back with high expectations and for more. An absolute monarchy would control these barbarians. Why do you think that you can make having liberty and freedom and order and security at the same time happen? It is almost nearly impossible. You can only have one or the other. If you give people liberty and freedom, then how are you going to maintain order and security without violating their freedom. The two just don't collaborate well together. You may have to rethink your ideas.
Montesquieu (Brian Gemma)
ReplyDeleteHow are the people going to get liberty, equality, and fraternity if there is no order, security, and efficiency? It makes no sense. If there is no order everyone is going to run around like chickens with their heads cut off. If that happens nobody will get liberty and equality. You sir, must think things out much more than you did with this one. If there is order people will get their liberty and equality. The situation does not work in the opposite direction. If the government has no idea what is going on how are they ever going to give the people what they need. Of course it is possible to have liberty, equality, and fraternity and order, security and efficiency, but one must come before the other. You must go back and look at your answer again because if you do not, you will look like a fool!
