Locke's influence can be seen in documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Federalist Papers. Locke’s philosophy of government, freedom, and natural rights challenged the power of England’s monarchy in Europe over the colonies in America. Although the foundations of these documents are highly influenced by John Locke's ideology, there are parts of these documents that stray away from his views. In this paper I will examine certain parts of the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the Federalist Papers and argue that for the most part, if John Locke were alive today he would be pleased with these documents but I will also highlight parts of these documents that would concern him. The first document I will analyze is The Declaration of Independence which I consider to be the most influenced by Locke's ideology of any document the founders drafted.

On the other hand, the school of freedom or free will believe that the behavior of humans is unpredictable on the basis of precedents but it is a choice of an individual.
And what influence, if any, do external factors and the environment have in the development of an individual’s personality? This essay intends to compare and contrast two personality theories and in doing so hopes to explore some of the questions above. The humanistic and behaviouristic perspectives offer very different theories in relation to personality. The main tenets in these two approaches would appear to be in stark contrast to each other from a thinking creative human who chooses his or her destiny to a non thinking mechanical being who simply learns how to behave through conditioning and learning (Coon, 1986, p. 464). Is this the case or are there more similarities than previously acknowledged?
