Perception and War War is a difficult subject to think about. Images of it are hard to look at and described as gruesome or gory. It seems strange that disagreements between countries are solved by sending people from each state involved in the dispute to fight each other and “die for their country.” Huge amounts of money have been spent to find new and better ways to kill people – maybe a single person, as is often the aim of an unmanned drone strike, or a large number of people, with more…

learn tomorrow will be that much easier to comprehend. This knowledge of thinking and learning is what makes mankind great, and it has been neglected in favor of more brittle principles, and strict obedience rather than respectful questioning. Margaret Mead said, “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” We must learn how to formulate our own thoughts, not simply spout out those of others, though we may borrow their words. If what we are learning does not teach us how to think…

In my last AGPP class on December 13th I co-kept a circle with Professor Lukens. Prof. Lukens and I met twice before the circle to review the opening, questions, and closing of the circle. She had a talking piece picked out and we borrowed a piece of cloth to use as a centerpiece. Using some notes from the training I attended with Kay Pranis, I created a handout with a description of what a balanced circle looks like (i.e. getting acquainted, building relationships, addressing issues, developing…

Throughout history, women have constantly fought for equality. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it 's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead said this after experiencing traveling the world and seeing different cultures. Despite the hardships that women have endured, they have still been able to rise up and achieve equality between the sexes. Women have had a huge role in shaping America into what it is present day. During the…

Margaret Mead once said to “never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world” (“Quotes about activism”). Many students around the world wholeheartedly agree with Mrs. Mead, and two prime examples were youth activism in Vietnam Era and in the pro-democracy movement of China. The Vietnam Era in the United States got its name from the longest and most controversial war in American history. In the year 1955 president Lyndon B Johnson decided to send American…

American Born Chinese and stereotypes “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” I believe this quote by Margaret Mead is very accurate and is something that all parents, teachers and adults should think about. “A stereotype is used to categorize a group of people. People don 't understand that type of person, so they put them into classifications, thinking that everyone who is that needs to be like that, or anyone who acts like their classifications is one.” (Dictionary.com).…

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”(Margaret Mead) There have been many protests, riots, and revolutions all over the world from ancient eras to our modern day. Each one of those has made the world what it is today. One of the most important protests was the feminist movement .Feminism is the advocacy of women 's rights to the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. The feminist…

to college because they 're confused. And society as an authority figure tell them they have to. She states “You don 't have to go to college to learn about the great ideas of Western man. If you want to learn about Milton, or Camus, or even Margaret Mead, you can find them. In paperback. In the library.” A person can learn everything without having to go to college. It’s the matter of choice. The ones that actually stay in dorms do not live a comfortable life. It’s noisy, crowed and…
