The role of Jean-Jacques Rousseau throughout the enlightenment period has made an impact on society today. By changing the perspective of the way we think in how we treat other really opened peoples eyes. The swiss philosopher was able to inspire people to be "noble savages" and practice necessity. Rousseau may not have had much of a big impact on government but he was able to change the way people thought. By doing so, it could have inspired governors to apply Rousseau's thinking into their work. However, Rousseau really did look into the social contract in terms of government. The philosophers throughout did shape government by the spreading of their beliefs & ideas. Rousseau was one of the enlightenment philosophers which contributed to the shaping of government.

What do we value at SFS?
This is a picture of the Seoul Foreign Korean Highschool
Korean gate. It has many traditional korean features on the building
and is an important landmark of Seoul Foreign School. This gate shows how much
we value Korea's traditional culture here at SFS. It also shows how we value
worth of it. The construction of the Korean gate took a lot of patience and
long time before it came to what it is today. The art intricately painted on
the gate took clearly shows how much dedication has been put into this gate.
This shows how much Seoul Foreign School values its traditional Korean gate as
well as other elements that are valued.

Coin Study
The first thing i noticed when i picked up the coin was that many of them had Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. It told me that they really signified their queen. Then i found out it was Australian as it says on the coin. However, i did not need to read that to know. A few of the other coins had imprints of national animals in Australia signifying their wildlife. I inspected beautiful imprints with kangaroos, platypuses, and ostriches. There was also a sign that they valued their heritage and culture as an aboriginal man was on the coin. The last thing i noticed was that they showed the countries seal as well as an outline of its country with a star. Inspecting coins tell us a lot about the country as it portrays it in a unique way.
