Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, remember what we learned in English class about famous thinkers? There was this person named John Locke.

Jaeyi: Oh yeah! The one from that blog post our teacher showed us? The one about how our minds are like blank slates when we are born?

Jaegyum: That's right! The blog said it's called "tabula rasa." It's a Latin phrase that means a clean board. So, everything we know and learn comes from our experiences.

Jaeyi: That's really interesting. So, like, if I've never touched a hot stove, I wouldn't know it's hot?

Jaegyum: Exactly! Locke believed that all our knowledge comes from what we see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. He called these "sensations." And then, when we think about these sensations, that's another way we learn, which he called "reflection."

Jaeyi: So, all those times Mom and Dad taught us things, and all the things we learned at school, those are filling up our blank slates?

Jaegyum: Yep! And the blog post also mentioned that Locke believed in natural rights. Do you remember what those are?

Jaeyi: Hmm... I think it was something about rights that everyone has just because they are human? Like, nobody can take them away?

Jaegyum: You got it! The blog said Locke thought the most important natural rights were the right to life, the right to freedom (or liberty), and the right to own property.

Jaeyi: Wow, so he thought everyone should be free and own things? That sounds pretty important.

Jaegyum: It is! His ideas were really influential. The blog even said that his thinking helped shape the way governments are set up in some countries, like the importance of individual rights.

Jaeyi: That's so cool! So, this John Locke guy from a long time ago still affects how we live today?

Jaegyum: It seems so! It makes learning about these historical figures really important, doesn't it?

Jaeyi: Yeah, it does! Maybe we can read more about him later?

Jaegyum: Definitely!
