John Locke: Educating Clearly Thinking Minds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Locke’s ideas on religion and democracy became the foundation of most liberal societies, making him the father of liberalism. Some however believe that his parenting guide, “Some Thoughts Concerning Education”, may have been even more influential. To learn what ideas from 1694 are still relevant today, watch our video.

CLASSROOM EXERCISE
John Locke’s views have been widely debated across the world for over 300 years. But do they still work in this modern age? What do you think? Hold a debate and vote with your class to get to the bottom of the issue. Are there some ideas that still hold true and some that are outdated and irrelevant? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Very good stuff. I didn't know locke had such great insight about education. The food part its very important, so many children are addicted to sugar and junk food in a very early age.
I don’t really agree with it on spices or the diet though. It’s not balanced
Dry bread and beer is not exactly a balanced diet lol
@Sprouts come on... saying sugar is bad is like saying the vaccine is bad because it has mercury in it. I would say no to bread because its not particularly natural when compared to say a carrot. but then again babies have they most processed food when they are born if you think about it.
sugar and spice, peppers and herbs are powerful to any dish and provides people to be deeply mindful about there eating as the dish is so interesting.
bread has been advocated because not unlike steel in the metals industry it just works. and light beer was so common during Locke's era due to water born illnesses being problematic.
about the sugar==addiction... yeah no, its not crack cocaine or heroine. junk food, is fast food. its in the name "fast". Fast is the name of the game in this modern society, we even have food eating contests. so these "fast" foods require the shortest amount of time to eat while obtaining all the substance you need. but then its not uncommon for all people to turn to food for comfort because we've all had least one great meal in our younger days that just tells us we will feel better, if you have habit to eat "fast" food you will eat that... and well you see the problem. if your an adult its really just a habit problem, not a I love sugar! problem, show me people who throw up or develop rashes because of "sugar" withdrawal, that isn't to say that a sudden change in diet can be a complaint on the gut.
Learning should be fun. Homeschooling works. Positive incentives work better than punishment, especially better than spanking. We all have natural rights to life, liberty and property. Locke is one of the main sources of Libertarian thought. The Constitution is based largely on Locke. Great stuff!
Not that I agree with Locke on punishments and rewards, but at around 4:50, it states that "a child shouldn't be driven by rules or incentives..." This contradicts your statement that positive incentives work. According to the video, even rewards or "positive incentives" was not suggested by Locke. Again, I disagree with Locke but just wanted to point that out.
@@mentalhealthgagepark4523 I think you're correct that Locke wasn't encouraging positive incentives. While it's certainly better than punishment and can elicit proper behavior, it doesn't really teach a lesson. Not talking about praise for work well done, but rather bribing children for good behavior. Love & Logic has an interesting take on this that has been useful in early education.
@@JeffBigler Thanks for your response. I disagree with your point about positive incentives being better than punishment, and though it may not (always) be a lesson in itself, it is useful for teaching and thus, merited as a teaching tool. I think that whether positive or negative incentives are good or bad, worse or better, useful or not useful, depends on the context. Imagine when positive incentive fails (or behavioral therapy rewards) to discipline an oppositional student, and punishments work. Time-outs, detentions, chores, negative peer reactions, talks with staff or parents about poor behavior, new routines, etc., all have been better than positive incentives in certain circumstances. And vice-versa. Depends on the context.
Also, taking both together, they are useful, as has been shown through the evidence of favorably being chosen for practice in the medical, parental, and educational settings for several millennia, all the way up to the present, regardless of Locke's own preferences. Another word for this is extrinsic motivation. If one were to argue that intrinsic motivation is better than extrinsic though, I would remind that person that it is difficult to produce, and that is why the existence of extrinsic methods of motivating is evident across the world. Also, extrinsic CAN sometimes lead to intrinsic motivation, where absent extrinsic motivations, intrinsic motivation would not exist. Lastly, and this is practically evident, parental approval is implicit in Locke's method, and thus, implies a form of extrinsic motivation/incentive for the child.

"Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education." ~ Zhuang Zhou (Taoist Master)
John Locke - the man who shaped the West that you never knew about.
I learned about him in high school, and more people need to learn about him.
I don’t agree with all his points listed, but it’s amazing how on-point he was with many of them. As Carl Sagan said, every child starts out as an innate scientist - encouraging that sense of discovery makes for more independent thinkers and fewer lemmings.
I'm glad you learned about him...but you should have learned about him in high school. He isn't an obscure thinker...his ideas are literally still shaping every liberal democracy in the world. Shame on whoever educated you that you never encountered him, but how wonderful that you finally have.
Voltaire did as much as Locke. I found these men's work in my private pursuit of morality after I left organized religion.
These things led me to read works from before and after them. It is also when I understood, we do stand on the shoulders of giants, great men who cared deeply for others, and liberty.
Parenting is an opportunity one's has to re-educate themselves, we struggle each day not to fall into those small mistakes with big consequences. Really nice content
Great video, thank you Sprouts!
Great stuff. Always helpful! Thank you!
I agree with his ideas.. I have a hard time sticking to a routine because I do not have a role model that follows one.. I try to think rationally but it is hard to approach thing without feeling emotions about them which I believe has something to do with my environment.. this video was quite helpful for me as I can now try to parent myself equipped with more knowledge.. thank you truly.
Thank you for explaining John Locke's ideas in such an interesting way .🥰
🍳controlling desires precedes rational thinking
🍳in my childhood, I am teached to be afraid of the dark by my peers➡️I'm 20 now and still has irrational fear of the dark➡️after watching this video, I'll try to overcome it with rational thinking
🍳I've also struggled with many addictions such as social media, caffeine, sweets, and memes, which many times distract me from my real problems, thus does more harm than good to my life especially academic life➡️I'll try combating them, again, with rational thinking
🍳I also have other irrational fears such as fear of failing, fear of being mocked/ridiculed, and fear of imperfection
fear of failure, fear of being mocked and ridiculed are absolute rational fears that have helped many people succeed in whatever they are doing.
I just discovered this discipline today, and it seems a very good school of thought for a scholarly mind. Have you found much success in reigning in your distracting habits so far? Don't let yourself get discouraged if you haven't. You have your whole life to improve yourself. I wish you success in your journey.
We weren't taught how to learn while having fun. This video made me realize it
As a preschool director, I agree with the points made about learning should be fun, controlling one's desires is important, and habits trumping rules. These are all valid points that I see in the aftermath of every day at work. The whole avoiding punishment, I think we have grown to view a little differently at least in my scope. Punishments should be appropriate to the natural consequence of the action. For instance, if a child makes a mess, they should clean it; if a child hits a friend they should be removed from playing with that friend. These are consequences that prepare the child as they get older and allow for a reflective period to understand the consequences of that choice.
What you are describing is actually discipline, which according to Michel Foucault, is different from corporeal punishment (which is what, I believe, Lock was against). While punishment can exist within a disciplinary regime, these kinds of "punishments" are based on redirecting devious actions, rather than "taking it out" on the child (in this case) because they are somehow innately bad. I think what you are saying is more along the lines of disicplining a child, and this is an important distinction. Check out Foucault's Discipline and Punish for more!
Please make such every week. I truly admire this channel content. ♥️♥️
This is amazing. Thank you.
living according to self esteem instead of just following rules, now that's a way to live man he described it beatifully
Glad I found this and wish I had found it sooner.

(2) 20-30: Sexual & Productive (give birth babies)
(3) 30-40: Stamina start degrade, grey hair...
(4) 40-50: Productivity ending, Presbyopia start, cell recovery start slow down from wound; diabetes, high blood pressure etc
(5) 60-70: Knee start pain (after wear and tear), Cataract , urine start lose control , and others...
(6) 70-80: Dementia...and many others issue.
(7) 80-100: Good bye.
I think that you and mr. Locke are on to something. Been deliberating on videos or speeches for a long time. Can’t explain the experiences.
Love this channel🥰
Thank you!!
Please make videos regularly , so I can improve my skills with your help
Very interesting information.
It is so true that education helps you remove so many thoughts and prejudice.... however the realization that we all are a free human being and our beliefs should be shaped by us only is epic...
Very stoic at points
I still can't understand.. why no one has thought me about great people like Locke in history, instead of those bloodthirsty conquerors?
history is not taught any more. Schools are to create obedient unthinking drones that don't have the ability to question anything.
That is so true.
Wow, I had no idea. It's too bad that we don't really do any of this stuff nowadays, our children are suffering from it.
Amazing insights. Imagine how much could be gained in society by guiding kids this way as opposed to all the forcible nonsense measures society imposes. I would have liked this. Fantastic video production, synopsis, and insights, and 10/10 cartoon work, as is the usual standard on this channel!
Thanks SixSixSix !
The biggest issue with regard to natural rights is the question of from whence those rights are granted.
Amazing how things connect so perfectly.
Everything in this video is true wisdom.
Hopefully except sleeping on a hard bed and cold showers for the poor child.
Of course things connect perfectly. That's because Locke's ideas are not always feasible in the real world since every child is different, and therefore, their minds are not alike.
Even if most of these things can be applied to most children, the outliers can and often do create the outstanding exceptions to the rule.
I'm not proposing that Locke's principles Can't work. I'm merely offering the idea that not all ideas are innately for all people. This includes the idea of free thought and living. Not everyone wants or can handle freedom in any capacity except to choose a form of life that restricts freedom of thought and life for themselves, which eventually translates to others around them.
Liberty isn't always desirable due to those who reject it in favor of the need for restrictions and illogical pursuits
always open new knowledge
From the very first point that "new ideas aren't believed by anyone" which I've basically struggled with my entire life.
He believes that everyone should have freedom of thought, the right to choose their own religion (except for Atheists) and that free-thinking people are led by their thoughts. This is related to the blank slate - tabula rasa - that Locke believes the mind is when someone is born. He says “Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours”. This shows his thinking that freedom of thought is reliant on actually thinking, not just absorbing information and being led by emotions. It is virtuous to be a rational thinker, a rationalist, and be led by things such as esteem and fear of disappointing oneself that promotes freedom of thinking and beliefs.
This is what I've got!
he had me until he suggested sleeping on a hard bed and being soaked in ice cold water :/
I think the main idea is about letting your kid to face hardships voluntarily (or with a small / gentle push) so he / she learns to handle some stress (is tougher in general). Hard bed, ice water are not the best ways imo (although cold water is a good way to boost immune system etc - hate it). I would prefer physical training, some competitive mental activities, sauna etc. :D
@@mrVSBU - they say that Japanese have cold and hot tubs and alternate in quick dips between the two.
I definitely in favour of hot tubs ;-)
it works. And if a child is used to doing it they will not know they are missing anything.
This is how Arnold Schwarzenegger's character (Julius, I think) in the movie, Twins, was raised. In the film, he was genetically created from the brightest and healthiest donors; and then raised on an paradisical island eating the best foods, receiving the best education and training; and being guided by the best philosophical principles, with Locke's ideas clearly illustrated.
A fun time if you get a chance to check it out
i do completely agree with lockes idea his view on rationalizing children is very rich and we this kind of nurturing has made European and American people much more free in choosing their life path. i wish to see this kind of perspective one day in my own country
I received a mix of reason 'n consequential responsibility (corporal punishment) which engendered morals 'n ethics yet to be exhibited in current affairs ..
Self discipline the key to life on earth. Doubt will kill your mind of learning. Shalowm
Thinking is of course the ultimate aim (which is why most successful experimental schools, the world over, are eventually closed by governments). Self determined education, which is enjoyable is always and inevitable much more successful than a prescribed curriculum. The one major flaw in Locke's ideas is his lack of appreciation of the place of emotion. Young children learn through their emotions, and adult reasoning is always influenced by emotion, often blinded by emotion.
The idea of exposing children to uncomfortable conditions is unconventional but I see how it could work to build metal and physical strength. Also the notion of habits over rules seems like a good way to avoid punishing.
Good job! Isn't it the case that #2 contradicts #1? If people just have different beliefs, and we can't know which beliefs are true, then isn't it the case that it's just a belief that people have rights? How can we know that's actually true?
So, all I got from this video is,
-How to learn something
-how to rear a child
-what are values like Independence mean
-why to avoid punishment
That's quite a bit.
@@patrickryan1515 Pretty GOOD !!!
Loved everything except the beer
This is to assume that the parents themselves have these habits. Children don't learn what you teach them, they learn from what they watch you do.
If it’s a habit even if u don’t feel like it you’ll do it
Homeschool is coming back!!
Great foundation - apart from cold showers (haha), notably a certain updating and contextualization is required. Still valid at the core.
john locke once said “Sprouts, pay Will Akana!”
Good video, but the thing with the spices and food is more of a guide to get scurvy

Conocía la idea de tabula rasa pero no todo lo demás que él escribió acerca de la educación. En la actualidad, muchos estarán de acuerdo con él en que no se debe castigar a los niños ni obligarlos a que sigan reglas por temor sino por convencimiento. Aunque algunas de sus ideas como lo de la tabula rasa han sido muy debatidas, hay algunas que deben revisarse y aprovecharse.
I forgot to take a short thinking break, so I don't know what my ideas are! :)
I was thinking if we don't punish kids for bad behaviour as locke suggested than how will we abstain them from doing bad things as kids are very mischievous.
Its my personal opinion. Since children are very very younger than parent, its our responsibility to go down to their level to make them understand (repeatedly)
you teach them to think. You make them good people that think and understand.
You have to precise « in western countries »
Timely. I fear that rational thought has become unfashionable. Yikes!
Here's a simple technique. Teach young people to think. How, have them sit quietly and think about one particular thing. Focus on that one thing for, say five minutes. I've seen this technique work.
This is interesting, and some of Lockes ideas are ok,OK, children must be disciplined when they misbehave.
Interesting that as early as the 1600s Locke came up with the ideas of no punishment, encouragement, habits and exposure, yet these concepts are seemingly only fairly recently catching non. A lot of the public still believes in the school of hard knocks. What happened?
Having a degree n being educated must mingle with each other!👍
Of Locke's ideas, i think i should have gone to sleep hours ago
john lockes ideas was all about learning by doing. he emphasized that a child didn't possessed knowledge before they engage in the environment a process called experiences.
A hard bed and cold baths are the foundation for finding learning more attractive.
You said sensationalist at 0:56, perhaps this needs to be expounded upon
Now we call church "school" and "university", and we call kings "government". 🙃
0:35 - A right not to choose any religion is probably even more important.

You cannot objectively study our Constitution without first reading Locke.
I think that the concepts are very good, but it seems that the "brain" is always the good guy and the "heart" is always the bad guy. I disliked that idea of always prevailing the "rational" versus the "emotional". That sounds more to rationalism than to real education of the intelligence. Emotional intelligence is so important!
MARAMING SLMAT
I think too little attention is paid to understanding human nature and the influence of emotions, especially those experienced by parents. Where do the desires come from, how are they influenced by the environment or by nature, and how should they be treated.
We know how quickly a person forgets everything he does not use, and the school teaches many things that are not useful, and does not teach useful things about a person - psychology, biology, including health. Therefore, education is largely useless for the torture of children.
Some religious-philosophical things seem to bothers a clear view of the world, man, and education.
Homeschooling is only as good as the home.
I think I just learned who one of the first hippies in history was LOL. Seriously though, most of his ideas I agree with but some are bit too much for me. For example, I think it is important to punish children when they misbehave especially when they do so maliciously. I agree that they shouldn't be punished from a place of anger but rather to reinforce that actions have consequences and that what may seem fun or good in the moment can lead to consequences that are anything but.
no, he was the exact opposite. His point was to make children rational and empathetic so that acting maliciously would never cross their mind. Explaining to a child that what they did was wrong and why it is wrong and having them understand and agree that it is wrong is far better than just punishing them.
@@Xander1Sheridan i never meant to imply JUST punishment. It should always be done the right way in the right frame of mind. That much I agree with.
.
What I disagree with is the notion that any sort of upbringing can ensure maliciousness never crosses their mind - that's just unrealistic as it gets. A healthy human psyche has to have what most would call its dark elements. Rather than trying to brainwash kids to never feel a perfectly normal human feeling - like rage, its better to teach them to understand and process such feelings so that they control their emotions rather than the other way around.
.
While their heart may be in the right place, raising children without any form of punishment is never going to work because it is fundamentally unnatural and unhealthy.
@jordypoe Yeah see we are talking about two totally different things.
@jordypoe You are doing it wrong then.
@jordypoe You keep setting punishment and rehabilitation up as though they were mutually exclusive. Just because punishment is often done incorrectly, especially in child rearing, doesn't mean there is no right way to do it.
.
We live in a universe dominated by causality. There are effects both intended and unintended that springs from our actions and inaction. For there to be negative consequences of incorrect behavior is just the natural order of things. I believe it is important to let children know very early on, it doesn't matter how they feel about certain things - if they do a deed that is deemed wrong then they should expect consequences aka punishment.
.
Even if their parents want to be a couple of pushover hippies they never punish them, the second they step into the real world it will be a rude awakening followed by a baptism by fire. For this reason ( as well as many others) Its important they understand that very early and conduct themselves with that in mind.
.
Locke definitely did not have CRT in mind.
That’s because Locke lived and grew up in a totally homogeneous society.
America was founded on calculated genocide of a native people and a socio-economic structure based on greed and profit.
By the way, Locke is actually considered the “Father of Liberalism” and was a leading figure in the “Age of Enlightenment” aka the 15th version of “wokism.”
But, nice try at revisionist history 😉
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke
@@dadduorp you could not be further from reality. The word liberal does not mean what you think it means. You are a brainwashed drone that has absolutely no clue about reality.The age of enlightenment was about rational thought, not idiotic clueless emotions.
The most important one is not putting your child in a horrible learning environment such as public school. It's too much like Lord of the flies.
The key is teaching your child well in the home that will serve him/her to navigate through life. You also allow your child to be a role model and inspiration to others. Students like that who I went to school with I remember FAR MORE than the loud-mouthed jerks and idiots.
You can not shield or expect your child to live in a bubble. That’s the problem I see with many in America; they are expected to think, talk and associate with like-minded people. It’s like those that never leave their small towns and never travel outside their state let alone the world.
Thus Boris Johnson et.al.
@@dadduorp who said anything about bubbles? The key is age appropriate environments. We had ours in small private schools until 8th grade. Then we thought they were appropriately self-confident and independent thinkers. That took a lot of work all those years. Most parents don't allow their children to experience natural consequences. It's a huge failure of parenting. Both ended up at application only public magnet schools. They thought most of their peers were smart but easily influenced by social pressures. I took a page from my own parents and that they used to tell us they were raising future adults. If you want to send your kids into public schools at a very young age all I can say is good luck. They will be living in cognitive dissonance that will become their normal instead of independent thinkers who can reason with logic.
The problem is not that the schools are public, but that they are poorly funded. Some want to do it to save money, some are just ideologically opposed to public education. Either way, it prevents kids from getting the skills they need. And even if you think you can afford to give your own kids a good private education, most of the country can't and this is setting the country up for failure in the long term.
@@GalaxyPedlar This isn't quite true. Educational studies suggests that it's not the money, it's the quantity of low quality educators, which is at it's highest in America in generations.
This is outlined when a poor inner city schools was ordered by a court to be given a very high bump in funding. The school was rebuilt, brand new books and state-of-the-art equipment for each department was purchased, and teachers and staff were given a large pay increase.
The results were closely followed by the Country to see what would happen. The results were that it changed nothing. Why? Because The Most Important elements were overlooked: the teaching staff were the same without either retraining or restaffing; the children were the same since no one bothered to help them get caught up with how they thought, behaved, etc.; and their communities didn't change.
Everything went on as before. The differences were cosmetic only, offering nothing of true worth with huge amounts of money thrown at the problems
Pay your voiceover actors!
I find rare that people here speaks about the avoidance of teaching about Locke and his ideas because we were taught a lot about him in my school in Central America. I guess it's a US thing which doesn't surprise me at all despite not being in fully agreement with some of Locke's thoughts because not all of his ideas were actually as "liberal" or "democratic" as most people around here want to see them (probably due to the lack or superfitiallity of education about him) but one can only expect that a country/government like the US' doesn't want to teach anything that might even be suspicious of encouraging any type of freedom, even if it's just partially. But to those that keep repeating "they should teach much more about Locke", be tranquil, he's even excessively talked about in most of the world and even fairly overrated, lots of his ideas were already present for a long time or appeared un prior periods or even in other regions and some of them, like I said, might not even be as democratic as generally perceived (although lots of them are, like the ones shown in this video). It's actually a rarity to find an education system which bypasses him, and I say this coming from one of the worst education systems in the world.
Reward is better than punishment
Either one is educating clear thinking minds or educating minds to think clearly, but one does not educate clearly thinking minds. (Don't use an adverb where an adjective belongs.)
What does it say about a video purporting itself to expound upon education, when the one producing the vid can't even get the grammar right in the title?
Children must be accustomed to controlling their desires and dispensing with their whims from an early age, and the first thing they should learn is that what we give them is out of our appreciation that they are useful to them and not because they bring them pleasure.

Drink beer, hard beds? Lol wut?
Enuf beer bed is soft
Nonalcoholic beer. Possibly for the extra calories or because it was cleaner than the water due to the brewing process. And sleeping on a hard bed or mattress is known to have some benefits, and after doing it for a little while you actually do get used to it. So considering the time the advice was given it sounds rather well-reasoned.
we call non alcoholic beer soda.

Can the amount of uncontrolled and problematic individualism in today’s western society be directly linked back to the ideas of Locke?
He was a pioneer for sure. But libertarianism comes with a price in regards to collectivism
; which I see as a necessity if we want a sustainable society for all citizens.
These days we can barely have a meaning full conversation about political views with out tearing each others head off. A fractioned society based on us being polarised by freedom?

This world is flooded with emotional thinkers already.
It's rational thinking that needs a comeback.
In the U.S, we are ruled though speeches and policy aimed not at our brains, but our hearts.
BLM is a movement driven by the anger born from racism.
SJWs feel entitled to control anything they find.
Even science is being pushed away from rational thinking, and back into the thought process of piety.
Anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers simply believe in their peers regardless of hard facts and statistics.
And top end scientists and politicians pull on the common folks emotions to get what they want. The Covid scare tactics are a huge showing of this.
Emotional thinkers are willfully ignorant thinkers. Truth doesn't usually feel good. Truth is hard. That's why rational thought is so vital. Emotional thinkers are the same people who denied science in favor of church, and denied truth in favor of feelings. What we need is dedication to TRUTH, not emotion.
I see by the mask on your face that you're an emotional thinker, not a factual one, so let me use that as an example. Masks don't work. It says so right on the box. Numerous studies have been done to prove it. Masks not only don't work, but they harm. Masks breed bacteria that you breathe directly into your lungs which results in pneumonia. Your emotional thinking is literally making people sick. That's not what we need in the world.
Logic must prevail. That's why they don't teach much about Locke anymore. It's too difficult to control free thinkers.
@@TigersandBearsOhMy @Tankofnova but masks have been made mandatory by rational thinkers ..
And both of you rational thinkers are contradicting each other . Guys both of you please do exchange notes on mask 😷
I made this comment in a different context
. Firstly i am a engineering student and i am not defaming science here
Science is integral to the society.
. My thought is that we should try to look beyond statistics in some scenarios
. Thanks for your feedback now i know an interesting fact about rationals they use cartoon as their profile picture 😁 and sorry if i hurted someone emotionally.
Exactly... We currently need thinkers who rationally consider emotions instead of ignoring them in the name of rationality.
@@prateekanand264 "masks have been made mandatory by rational thinkers."
No. To be told to mask after being fully vaccinated is just dumb. That implies vaccines are ineffective, making people feel like they need the mask simply because they are told so.
Look beyond statistics into what? Anecdotal stories that get blown out of proportion by MSMs and their thoughtless viewers? No thanks!
And could we please not attack each others PFPs, I know you aren't the first, but please be the last.
It would be great if Sprouts didn't plagiarize its content from The School Of Life. @theschooloflifetv
