Answer:

Being the archetype of a tragic heroine, Antigone supports the theme that "divine law is higher than mortal law" as she sacrifices herself for what she believes in.

Explanation:

Antigone is a tragedy written by Sophocles in 442 BC, the plot begins with Antigone burying his dead brother Polyneices after he died in battle, and even after the king's successor Creon commands that Polyneices's body should be left on the field of battle. Antigone makes a decision knowing it will probably cost her own life, but she sacrifices herself because she believes her action was adhering to the law of God, which is, in her opinion, higher than the mortal law. This action makes Antigone a tragic heroine while supporting one of the main themes of the tragedy, which is the conflict between the divine law and the mortal law.

Explain Locke's idea of tabula rasa. How does he think humans learn? Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
Degger [83]

<span>Locke’s notion of tabula rasa means that every individual is born with a clean slate or that the human brain is empty free from any information, identity or personality at birth. A person begins to accumulate information through experience and exposure as he or she matures. Thus, the environment and the people the infant encounters are the sources of his or her identity and they are the ones that influence his or her personality. In short, when a child is born in an environment of peace and order to parents who shower him or her with love and care, he or she would grow up to be an ideal person. On the other hand, if he or she is exposed to chaos and abuse, he or she would end up being a violent and problematic person.</span>
