This resource presents an engaging scenario set in the year 2050, where students are tasked with establishing a new colony on Mars. It encourages them to explore the philosophical ideas of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke in the context of governance. Hobbes advocates for strong leadership and total order to ensure safety, while Locke emphasizes the protection of natural rights, including life, liberty, and property. Through the examination of two distinct policies—one reflecting Hobbes's ideas and the other aligning with Locke's principles—students must identify which philosopher each policy represents. Additionally, they are challenged to propose a new rule that safeguards one of Locke's stated rights within the colony. This exercise not only deepens their understanding of these philosophers but also applies their concepts to a futuristic and imaginative setting.
