Compare the views of Locke and Rousseau in relationship to the "nature-versus-nurture" debate

What will be an ideal response?

A good answer would include the following key points:
• Locke viewed children's development as entirely shaped by their experience. Therefore, Locke would subscribe to the notion that nurture, our environmental influences, shape and affect development.
• Alternatively, Rousseau viewed children as born with an innate sense of right and wrong and that growth occurred in stages and unfolded automatically. He is more closely aligned with the nature camp in this issue. Nature is defined as traits, abilities, and capacities that are inherited.
• One additional note, Rousseau did believe that the environment could affect these stages, thus taking a contemporary approach to the notion that behavior and development are shaped by both nature and nurture.
