Texto del Guión Gráfico
- Locke: Come on guys! We're gonna be late! But first, don't forget to discuss ideas of Life, Liberty, and Property. Plus freedom!
- Voltaire: Come on guys! Not everything is about freedom and general will. All ideas revolve around REASON!
- Rousseau: I agree with freedom, John! Just don't forget to talk of direct democracies and general will!
- OH NO!
- Baron de Montesquieu : You guys made it! Ready to discuss how all branches of the government should be equal? Judicial, executive, and legislative!
- This is ridiculous!
- DIDEROT, WOLLSTONECRAFT, and ADAM SMITH: IN HERE GUYS!
- What if they're mad??
- Voltaire: First I want to start by addressing the importance of the separation of church and state. Then also social progress being achieved through reason
- Alright, let's lead off by speaking our minds, and sharing ideas.
- Baron de Montesquieu: I mainly want to share how I believe that all branches of the government should be equal, as it leads to social progress.
- Mary Wollstonecraft: I want to express the idea of how woman's rights should be the standard same as natural rights to all humans. This all starts with me
- Adam Smith: I formed the economic theory and am known as the father of economics. I believe in hard work and self interest mainly.
- Locke, Rousseau, and Voltaire all ponder with each other, as they await to join the others in the salon. They are late to the party and need to discuss before they enter. John Locke and Rousseau discuss the ideas of freedom while Voltaire adds the idea of reason. Not to mention, they are in a rush.
- Rousseau: I believe in a direct democracy, which allows all to express general will.My main beliefs are in democracies
- Locke: I am the founder of liberal thought, and believe in Life, Liberty, and Property as they all lead to freedom
- Diderot: I focus heavily on the ideas of materialism. My main ideas were to radicalize empiricism
- Cesare Beccaria: I focus on the criminal justice system and believe in equality. Individual dignity is my go-to belief
- As John Locke and Voltaire are in a state of panic because they are late, Rousseau exposes them for their nonsense. Meanwhile, Baron de Montesquieu walks down the stairs to welcome and discuss with his guests! All the others are calling for them in the room.
- We need to end our rivalry. We are basically the same! We have the same beliefs of society's future, we are both French, and are from the same age!
- I agree we shall set it aside. We are the same! Only if you do say that all branches need to be equal though!
- As Rousseau starts the discussion off, Voltaire decides to jump in and express his ideas of the separation of the church and state. Adam Smith jumps in to talk about his beliefs of self-interest. After that, Mary Wollstonecraft then hops into the conversation herself, to express her beliefs about woman's rights in society. Baron de Montesquieu adds, finally, his fine ideas of equality.
- Until next time!
- WHAT A BLAST!
- After Baron de Montesquieu expresses his bright thoughts, Rousseau chimes in to speak of his ideas based on general will. Next, John Locke speaks up to reveal that all should have rights to life, liberty, and property. After Locke, Cesare Beccaria speaks of individual dignity and his thoughts of the criminal justice system. Last but not least, Diderot caps off the sharing of ideas with his beliefs of Matieralism.
- The crew moves to a fireplace to relax and unwind. They all spread out and pair up with friends to talk. Voltaire and Montesquieu pair up to sort out their indifferences, because both were French, both lived and wrote around the time of the French Revolution, and both were interested in how the unfolding of history affects humanity.
- At last, after a blast in the salon, the crew decides to head out. After all, they had a jolly time discussing all of their ideas. They all had a chance to share and enjoyed every minute of it. Even some sorted out their indifference! Can't wait until next time at the Salon!
