Candidate Locke Case Study
Candidate Locke displayed poor confidence in briefing his order, demonstrating a lack of an initial plan and unfamiliarity with the order format. SNC began developing his scheme of maneuver in the middle of briefing his execution, staring at the obstacle for extended periods of time while his team waited. He then concluded his brief without briefing admin/logistics and command/signal. SNC failed to establish security during the brief or during the execution phase. SNC also mismanaged his time by briefing his incomplete order very slowly, taking time away from his execution. During execution, SNC had great difficulty making a decision and directing his team once friction was encountered, prompting a team member to suggest that the team leader

    Candidate Olsen's brief was thorough, confident, and clear. SNC spent an elongated time briefing his order. This took away from the time allotted to execute the mission. Prior to the execution phase, SNC posted security oriented in the wrong direction. SNC did not look at the obstacle prior to his initial plan.

As a result, his fire team members stood around, not progressing towards mission accomplishment, and waiting for guidance and direction. The decisions SNC made during…

    Candidate Spencer took the time to develop a plan and write his order prior to briefing. SNC briefed an extremely detailed five paragraph order, including an exhaustive Execution paragraph, and accurate information from higher’s warning order and fragmentary order. However, SNC spent 80% of his time prepping and briefing his order, showing an inability to effectively manage his time. Once SNC began executing the mission, he did not compensate for the time spent on his order, and his sense of urgency was lacking. SNC had a low frequency of verbal and non-verbal communication with his team and thus had some difficulty maintaining awareness and control of his team member’s movements. Upon consolidation, SNC controlled his security well, assigning…

    Candidate Holthe's five paragraph order was clear and concise. It was easy to understand and flowed well. However, he did brief parts as more of a check in the box without applying them to the execution. For example, he briefed hand and arm signals when they were clearly communicating utilizing voice. Initially he identified security but he then told them it would not be necessary so he did not establish it. SNC briefed a concise scheme of maneuver and his tasks were clear in order to accomplish the mission. SNC did fail to make the necessary adjustments to his plan in a timely manner. When it was clearly evident that his plan was not working he did not make an adjustment until eight minutes into the execution phase. SNC did not move…

    Candidate Estrada, M. received the obstacle brief and only asked two question in order to clarify what he had missed. SNC wasted little time completing his notes and assessed the obstacle for a few moments before he briefed his team. His brief consisted of all the parts of the 5 paragraph order; however, he displayed lack of confidence in his tone of voice and gave a confusing brief that bounced around the 5 paragraph order. His decision making was slow during the execution and this was displayed through lack of communication to his team. SNC did not listen to the coordinating instructions very well, as he added they could not touch an area of the obstacle that was authorized, which was part of a previous scenario. The minimal communication…

    Candidate Oblea Delivered his five paragraph order ensuring to cover all paragraphs, however his understanding of the order was poor. The coordinating instructions seemed as though they were ignored during the execution phase. Fire team members violated the boundaries set in the coordinating instructions. SNC displayed a complete lack of confidence during his brief and execution phase. When approaching friction points SNC could not adjust his scheme of maneuver, instead he paused and could not proceed through the course. SNC did not effectively utilize his fire team to their potential, he would state what needed to be done and instead of delegating he would actually execute the order himself. The management of time was…

    Candidate Kaberides was evidently confident upon the commencement of his five paragraph order briefing.

SNC and his fire team maintained focus on the mission at hand, steadily pursuing the objective. SNC's steadfast confidence and sense of urgency was also clearly evident throughout the problem…

    Now in the end we want to live in a world where we all get along. Locke helps supports why Mary should take down the poster, so she will continue to get along with her neighbors. If Mary discards her poster then the tension between the neighbors will eventually disappear and continue to get along. An example of Locke's approach would be gun violence. If we have everyone shooting each other Locke would say to get rid of guns, because then we would stop the violence and get along. If Mary follows Locke and removes the poster from her door then their will peaceful among the two…

    When Thomas Jefferson was drafting the American Declaration of Independence, he looked to a number of philosophers and studied their writings. This helped him put into words the best possible foundation for the United States of America. One of the main influencers of Jefferson’s writing was a person he called one of the “three greatest men that have ever lived, without any exception”, (Jefferson, Thomas) the English philosopher John Locke. You can see Locke’s influence in the American Declaration, when Jefferson penned “that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (The Declaration of Independence) These words in the declaration have the same tone as Locke’s words in the Second Treatise of Government when he stated “a legitimate government may not violate our natural right to life, liberty, and property.” (John Locke) It is widely reported and quoted throughout the internet, (but I have been unable to find the original source) that in one of Jefferson’s original drafts of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson used Locke’s original words of: life, liberty and property. Later in his final official draft that he presented to the committee (who were: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert R. Livingston), Jefferson changed Locke’s “Property” to “the pursuit of Happiness.”…

    John Locke argued that a legitimate government would be validated through the consent of the people it governed and protected, specifically the protection of a citizens natural rights of life, liberty, and estate. He also believed that citizens had the right of rebellion in the event that a government was acting against the rights and interests of its citizens, ultimately allowing those governed to replace the government with another in the interests of the people. Locke believed that the state of nature was that of happiness due to reason and tolerance. He argued that all people are equal and had no right to harm another's "life, liberty, or possessions." The state was formed by social contract because in the state of nature each was his own…

    John Locke was a British Enlightenment despot and physician born on August 29, 1632. He made a huge impact on the Enlightenment, which lead to many democratic revolutions. His contributions were recorded in his series of books titled Essay Concerning Human Understanding. In Book I of the series he introduced a new theory that is referred to as “Tabula Rasa” (blank slate). This theory states that everyone is born without the innate tendency to do good or evil and is free of all instincts. According to this theory, the external forces, during ones upbringing is what shapes their character. Additionally he emphasizes that everyone is born equally. Although there are many brilliant scientist and philosophers that chastise this theory,…

    The reading for this week addresses Locke’s understanding of the relationship between the poor and the capable citizens in society. He stated explicitly in his second treatise on government, the importance of work and labor in order to assess a person’s worth. Locke believes that man is not meant to be idle and that the purpose of existence is to live in the image of God and work towards a life of moral bounds and labor upon the earth making it more beneficial to all those who enjoy its benefits. During the century that Locke is writing, about 50-70% of the population is extremely poor. There seemed to be no freedoms unless the institution of waged labor came into question. Waged labor during this time was not much better than being a slave and in many ways is just an extension of slavery.…

    The Protestant Ethic declares that human mindset is based on reason. In addition, this Ethic describes that people are capable of being individuals while also contributing to the collective welfare of a given society. Weber notes that they key characteristics of the Protestant Ethic are a growing skepticism of authority, money and industry, rationality, individualism and investment Although at times unaware, many great thinkers who constructed legal documents after the spreading of the Protestant Ethic used this opinion to formulate their own arguments. For example, Locke’s “Second Treatise of Civil Government” contains his analysis of human nature. While keeping “individuals” in mind, Locke proposes certain regulations necessary for a functioning government. Locke’s treatise is primarily a reflection of the Protestant Ethic and its correlation to administration. “The Second Treatise of Civil Government’ discusses a nation of peace and safety, a society based on equality, and a country that with all of its individuals still maintains a sense of unity.…
