THE SITUATION Your scenario starts in front of the statue of William of Orange or William

III in Plein (Square), who led the Glorious Revolution and began the House of Orange and
was monarch of both the Netherlands and England. The story can begin with the characters
contemplating the Dutch role in Englands Glorious Revolution and what to do next The role-
play should be about 20 minutes long, and no more than three minutes, with each student
given an equal amount of speaking time / about three minutes each. The Historic Role-play
Rubric will be used in grading; note that the Knowledge of history/philosophy is most
important.

THE MISSION Decide as a group where to go, mindful of MUIDS ESLOs regarding
teamwork and leadership, by negotiating with your philosophical friends to plan where to go
next, and start traveling if theres time. Make sure that you are as true to your philosophical
and travel preferences as much as you can, and negotiate when you can in the spirit of
friendship. Just dont sell your soul. Luther wouldnt like that. Try not to be late for lunch!

THE REFLECTION After your trip to Holland, wraps up, please reflect, philosophically, by
answering questions such as: How do you feel about what you saw? What did you learn on
your trip? How through the conversations with other philosophers did you gain a deeper sense
of the Essential Understandings of Unit 1, namely how was Medieval European society was
shaped by Christianity, disease, warfare, and feudalism and how out of this emerged the
Renaissance, Scientific Revolution, Reformation, and Enlightenment and colonialism?

The world is my country; science is my religion. Christian Huygens

King James - It was such a long time until the dinner at See You at Noon. I would like to go
to somewhere to travel and get to know more about The Hague. Did you have any ideas?
Immanuel Kant I suggest visiting the Mauritshuis. It was a museum full of the best
paintings from the Dutch Golden Age, which including an iconic image of naval hero Michiel
de Ruyter.
Trust me, it such a waste if we have arrived The Hague but did not see the Dutch Mona
Lisa.

Da Vinci- I am totally agree with Kant. You dont know how much meaning have been
hidden in each picture. I would go to see the second or Dutch Mona Lisa by my own eyes,
as Kant have stated. I want to see if it is as beautiful as people had mentioned. In fact, to
see if it is as beautiful as mine. Me personally was the person who spent almost of my 16
years in life to really complete my sketch. Hence i really want to see it. Kant words have
already pushed me into it.
Niccolo Machiavelli I Would like to suggest Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) nearby Delft. It
was where William the Silent, of the Netherlands father of the fatherland, leader of the
revolt against Spanish rule in Holland and leader of the Glorious Revolution. But have been
shot and killed by an assassin working for the Spanish King Philip II of Spain. That was the
background information I am interested in. Anyway, this destination is not on the map of the
city center of The Hague. But I still suggest to go there.

Martin Luther Talking about Church, why dont we go to Grote Kerk (Great Church). It
was an appreciating the effects of the Protestant Revolution he helped spark and
appreciating the spiritual atmosphere. I guarantee that all people here would enjoy.

Mary Wollstonecraft I would love to visit the Vredespaleis (Peace Palace), the ideal
manifestation of humanitys Rationalist desire for fairness and rule of law and respect for
womens rights and equality in this monument to peace and justice. Moreover, taking selfies
there was amazing. Many views and now was a right time to take a bright one.

Thomas Hobbes No, no no. Church was way too familiar, there's church everywhere.
Peace was too boring. I suggest we should tour the Museum de Gevangenpoort (Prison
Museum). Remember my ideas, the Life in the state of nature is solitary, poor, nasty,
brutish and short? I wanted all to investigate the medieval torture equipment used in a
darker time before The Hague became known as the City of Peace and Justice.

John Locke Aha, talking about tortue hand fighting, I just remember about the Knights
Hall. I am very excited about seeing the Dutch Parliament in action, on a ProDemos tour of
the Binnenhof/Rizzedal (Knights Hall) complex. Since, after all, all of my ideas greatly
inspired the European democratic tradition.

King: People, I dont think we had enough time to travel to all the seven places. I am very
appreciate all of your opinion but I scare that we could only go to 3 places in maximum.

Immanuel Kant Your highness, Art does not want the representation of a beautiful thing,
but the representation of something beautiful, look closely. The beautiful may be small.
Moreover, I wanted you guys to see the sight of this museum. It surrounded three face by a
lake and also with the bright color house tone which made it look so special. I would love
you all to see.

Da Vinci- I am totally agree sir. And i suggest you all to go and see them. You guys will like
them as me and Kant like them.

Niccolo Machiavelli I have been said what I needed to say.

Martin Luther Hey, appreciating the spiritual atmosphere was also very essential and
interested to do.

Mary Wollstonecraft -womens rights and equality in this monument to peace and justice.
It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world.

John Locke - Men being, as has been said, by nature, all free, equal and independent, no
one can be put out of this estate, and subjected to the political power of another, without his
own consent, since, after all, all of my ideas greatly inspired the European democratic
tradition.

Thomas Hobbes no matter what you said, I am still state with my idea.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau Hey, calm down clam down. I wanted to see my friends happy.
I dont understand why we ended up like this. We should be made a decision as soon as
possible or else, we are running out of time. Liberty is like rich food and strong wine: the
strong natures accustomed to them thrive and grow even stronger on them; but they
deplete, inebriate and destroy the weak, Happiness: a good bank account, a good cook,
and a good digestion. I want to get to See You at Noon on time since i have heard about
some interesting and delicious dishes.

King - I have heard all of your opinions. Why dont we summary them all, divide into
categories and then choose the best three. In my opinion, for art, lets go to the Mauritshuis
since, me, myself, also very interested in the art there. Next, I am interesting when hearing
the named Grote Kerk, which mean the Great Church, since they all churches, I hope you
would agree to go. Last but not least, the world is now peace, and we should respect
women, I would like to go to Peace Palace. Moreover, we could take a group picture there.
That was my opinion, I hope you all will respect that.

All - As if you said, your highness.
