Explain locke's idea of tabula rasa. how does he think humans learn? your answer should be at least one hundred words.

Locke’s notion of tabula rasa means that every individual is born with a clean slate or that the human brain is empty free from any information, identity or personality at birth. A person begins to accumulate information through experience and exposure as he or she matures. Thus, the environment and the people the infant encounters are the sources of his or her identity and they are the ones that influence his or her personality. In short, when a child is born in an environment of peace and order to parents who shower him or her with love and care, he or she would grow up to be an ideal person. On the other hand, if he or she is exposed to chaos and abuse, he or she would end up being a violent and problematic person.

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
