    Rousseau (1712- 1778) - “Children are innately


    good, in that they were born with an intuitive
    understanding of right and wrong and they
    would develop in positive directions as long as
    society does not interfere with their natural
    tendencies

    Thomas Hobbes- children are inherently bad

    John Locke- children are neither good or bad
