    During the 20th century, many groups across the nation were facing problems with the new urban-industrial order. Progressivism was defined as a broad-based response to industrialization and its social byproducts, which were immigration, urban growth, growing corporate power, and widening class divisions. Most progressives were reformers, who strived to make the new urban-industrial order more humane instead of overturning it and believed that most social problems could be solved through study and organized effort. While the reformers reoriented American social thought, novelists and journalists reported corporate wrongdoing, municipal corruption, slum conditions, and industrial abuses. Magazines like McClure’s and Collier’s stirred reform energies with articles exposing urban political corruption and corporate wrongdoing, some magazines later appeared as books.…

    The world since the Golden Age of Renaissance has changed drastically in the past five hundred years. However, there are still a myriad of influential modern day Renaissance men (and women) existing in the world. Although the set of criteria that the world uses to define a Renaissance man is different from the past, the definition of humanistic virtues and ideals itself has not changed.

    Dewitt Jones’s video is very inspirational; it makes me want to tap into my creativity more. I really appreciate the way he defines creativity, emphasizing that anyone is able to be creative if they are willing to change their perspective. Similar to his early beliefs, when I was younger, I believed that only talented artists were creative and that creativity was not a trait that everyone could possess, especially not myself. As I have grown older, I have learned that all of us possess creativity, we just have to be willing to go the extra mile in order to access it.…

    Ballet has always been near and dear to my heart, so much so that I took a year off from high school to pursue it on a professional level. During my year away I came to the firm conclusion that there was far more in life I cared to pursue then the four-mirrored walls I had come to know as home. I was lucky enough to find an amazing high school with a specialized “pre-med” program, the director with whom I have come to know far more as a mentor than as a teacher. Dr. Carlos Pulido is one of the wisest men I have met to date, a retired chief of surgery and certified army trauma surgeon, he is a remarkable example of all I hope to achieve in my life.…
