Feedback
A Incorrect. The doctrine of original sin as used by Thomas Hobbes suggests children to be inherently evil and selfish egotists who must be controlled by society.
B Incorrect. The doctrine of innate purity proposed by Rousseau suggests children are inherently good and born without an intuitive sense of what is right and wrong.
C Correct. The doctrine of tabula rasa (blank slate) proposed by John Locke suggests that children are neither good nor evil, but rather enter the world without inborn tendencies, and are molded through life experiences.
D Incorrect. Carta blanca or carte blanche is a blank check. It has nothing to do with theories about childhood, but instead is a banking term.
