Today, we discussed the values sheet (p. 30) to determine where you all fit on the continuum. Students got into groups of three and examined their answers. They were then given paper and, using the corresponding numbers to the statements, placed them on a continuum with collective values on the far left and individualistic values on the far right (with all of the degrees spread out along the continuum to show their relation). The purpose was to see how their values reflect care of group or care of self as a primary goal. We also placed the views of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau on the continuum (well, not Hobbes, as he doesn’t fit into it as his views are extreme).
We then looked at the visuals you came up with and attempted to separate them out based on how well they represent the philosophers (Hobbes, Rousseau, and Locke). Students got into groups of three or four; placed all of the visuals on the floor for their group and then switched groups. The new group then organized the visuals based on who they thought they represented.
We then examined them all as a class.
For homework: You will take your own visuals and then put as many details about the philosopher they represent and their beliefs in the areas around the visual. This will be homework and due tomorrow.
