John Locke

By: Nicole Mazzola John Locke helped to prove the church wrong. He stated that people learn through the experiences in their lives. Mr. Shingler, a senior modern literature teacher at Empire says, in notes “ John Locke was a philosopher who tried to explain how people learn. People learn through good and bad experiences” (Shingler). This quote is about how good and bad experiences can help to teach you about stuff. Through good and bad experiences you can learn a lot about yourself and it can help make you a better person. Every experience you go through has an effect on you. No matter whether it was good or bad it will have a great or small effect on the individual person. Everything in life affects each person in a unique way. No two people get effected by the same event that happens to them in their lives.
