On the first page of Locke's essay, he talks about how understanding is what sets man apart from other animals and species. He talks about how humans are dominant because they are born to understand certain things and aspects of life. Humans have a way of communicating with others and using their brains to solve compliated problems. No other animal or species can do this or anything close to it. Humans are dominant because they are the only species that can think logically, speak intelligently for the most part, and have religion which make up a society. I agree with Locke when he says that it is an advantage to be human because we have certain privileges that other species do not.
I found it very interesting that he says that the eye makes it possible to perceive things and see them but it can not see itelf. I never thought about that. The eye can be used for many things and is very sensitive when touch or something gets in it but it can not see itself only its reflection. People see themselves only in the way they want to so maybe when people look in the mirror and see there reflection that is the person they are and the person everyone else sees is the real them.
