Seoul Foreign Boarding School of Montesquieu


Seoul Foreign Boarding School of Montesquieu

  • How is order maintained?
    • There would be three branches (executive, legislative, judicial) to balance the power. Each group will be able to maintain each other
  • Who has power?
    • The power is split between executive(Principal), legislative(Teachers and Student Council), and judicial(Vice Principal)
  • How did they get that power?
    • Whoever is verified to qualify to be in the branch, have an election by students and teachers. The principal should be someone who can overlook the environment, and moderate and initiate social interactions. The vice principal should be someone who is strict in enforcing the rules.
  • Where did the rules come from?
    • The rules would be suggested by the legislative branch and approved by the principal.
  • How are these rules enforced?
    • The Vice Principal oversees that the rules are upheld and when rules are broken, he punishes “rulebreakers” accordingly.
  • What is the role of students?
    • The roles of students would be suggested by the teachers and then approved by the principal. The legislative group will include a number of students enforcing the branch. However, most of the students would be considered as the citizens.
  • How would an outsider “know”?
    • balance will be maintained, there would be three buildings of equal size and color on equal ground representing the legislative, executive, and judicial branch
    • Students would have uniforms to show that nobody has more power than the other
    • there would be an equal amount of girls/boys in school and in the classroom
    • Each student would receive the same lunch and attend the same classes
    • students have identical dorms
    • no makeup or jewelry
    • all students will have the same haircut
      

Rousseau Today

        Rousseau made a big impact on many peoples lives. He took the soft side as to what man should be whereas many enlightenment philosophers would not look at it that way. Rousseau's ideals & thoughts remind me of the hawaiian culture. Being born in Hawaii i've been influenced to give and be happy with what i have. I think this way of thinking is very important because it makes you a better person and you feel better overall. I also completely agree with Rousseau's beliefs and think we should influence others as we have been doing for many years. :)
