Progressivism

Jacob Goldman Mr. Stambuli English 10 Honors 6 March 2024 Racism. Today, it is an underlying issue to which seemingly everyone is aware, but a century ago, it was viewed merely as a social norm. In the early 20th century, it was rare and perhaps even discouraged for the white man to engage in a black person’s culture. They are on two entirely opposite ends of the spectrum. White and black could not mix, except, that is, within the mind and soul of a certain individual named Clare Kendry. A…

From my time in ELED class, and observing in an actual classroom, I have learned much more about education than I previously knew. This semester has changed the way I think about education going into the future. Classroom layouts have changed, as well as the way teachers, students, and parents interact with each other. The behavior of students in 2016 is also different than it has been in the previous years. There are many more diverse classrooms with students who have different learning…

Why I Feel Called to Teach I see teaching as a lifestyle rather than a job. I feel called to teach because I simply love children. When I think of my future, I picture my life centered on something that I truly love doing. As a teacher, that’s exactly what I will get to do. I believe that teaching is one of the few jobs where you can make an impact on our world’s future. Spending time with children as well as getting to know them and making an impact on their lives brings much joy to me.…

The first Great Awakening was a Protestant religious recovery that cleared Protestant Europe and England in the 1740s. A zealous and renewal development, it cleared out a changeless effect on American Protestantism.The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious recovery in the mid nineteenth century in the U.S. The development started around 1790, picked up by 1800 and, after 1820, participation climbed quickly among Baptist and Methodist assemblies whose preachers drove the development.…

Beating the waves of differences between the geography in The Great Gatsby In The Great Gatsby geography repeatedly underscores the established social differences between the “nuevo riche” and “old money” (or the established social elite). But it doesn’t stop there. Geography also helps deliver many of Fitzgerald’s important messages such as commentary on the cost and quest for success, both economic and social. Indeed , Fitzgerald’s political views even factor in at times. We see this over and…

of philosophies: essentialist, perennialist, progressivist, existentialist, and behaviorist. However, I have one type of philosophy that stands out most: progressivist. Progressivism stresses explaining real-life problems and working towards the complete development of an individual (Eggen & Kauchak, 2011). I understand progressivism as wanting to move forward and finding new, innovative ways of doing so. Knowing what being a progressivist means, I can begin to understand the teacher I will…

Sexual Assault: What is at stake? Sexual Assault… These words echoed in my mind when I learned this would be our topic for the unit. A million racing thoughts suddenly stopped with a screeching halt. Sexual assault has been prevalent in contemporary society, forcing the topic to be embedded into the consciousness of Americans. Before I began this journey of discovery, I thought I could grasp the concept and the implications of the rape culture in society. But that confidence has eroded, as I…

Beginning with the end of the Civil War and the North’s continuing boom in industry and ending with the beginning of Progressivism in the turn of the century, consolidations and business rose while the descent of many citizens became omnipresent . The idea of the “self-made man” from the Horatio-Alger Myth was just that: a myth. Social Darwinism appeared and dictated that the better companies and better/wealthier people would come out on top because the impoverished were somehow undeserving of…

Around 100km east of Seville in Spain lies a residential community of 2,700 individuals called Marinaleda. It's one of numerous farming based towns and towns in the area of Seville, encompassed by endless supply of level, horticultural fields. What makes Marinaleda diverse, undoubtedly from anyplace else in Spain and potentially Europe as well, is that for as far back as thirty years it has been a focal point of proceeding with work battle and a place where a living, creating and real type of…

While in U.S. Congress, Senator Sanders has maintained a consistent record of progressivism and loyalty to the people. Sanders has voted against the debacle which was the Iraq War, against bailing out the Wall Street banks, against the Patriot Act and its reauthorization, against offshore drilling, and has supported gay marriage since the 1970s (Vote Smart). After all, he was an activist during the Civil Rights Movement, and was even arrested for protesting racial segregation in Chicago in 1962…
