I agree with the work of John Locke. His ideas suggested that people were born with a blank mind, which was then molded by the experiences that came through their senses from the surrounding world. This caused Enlightenment thinkers to believe that if environments were changed and people were exposed to the right influences, then they could create a new and better society. I could easily compare this to the idea of racism. Racism is not a trait, it is something you learn and develop from things you see in the outside world.
