Wollstonecraft talks mainly about women's rights in this essay, and how women can be independent and that's exactly what she supported. The fact that they thought women had to live with a man, and  weren't able to  hold jobs like men could, was completely unnecessary. Women should be just as equal as men and no one should be discriminated because of their gender.   Basically  women were viewed as practically pointless.      At the time the essay was written, women were considered as a property meaning that the men were more superior than they were. Mary Wollstonecraft argues that women should be treated differently because they cannot get "real jobs" nor do they have a say in politics.   Therefore  they were unable to live their own independent life because the men typically made choices for them.     I do believe the way that women are treated in society reflect their thoughts and actions. Women t...

Montessori & Dewey

The basis of scientific pedagogy for Montessori is basically the use of the scientific method when the teacher is instructing, freedom for students, independence, and respect for students needs physically, mentally, and environmentally. She supports the student having choices and freedoms in the classroom to make the learning more enjoyable and memorable. To make the information more interesting she suggests the use of hands on activities and the use of materials rather than a lecture.   The classroom environment is very important in learning. The child must be comfortable in order to learn. If I child comes into a classroom and only sees the board and books and individual desks around the room they may become uninterested. The environment must be clean and inviting with fun and educational materials throughout.   Children must have freedom when learning because after instruction they will need to know the basis of freedom and how to handle having it. Freedom makes e...

Smith

1.  I agree with Smith quotes on the dominance of agriculture on our nations growth.  Smith is correct to say the nation grows because he is the outline and natural course of first agriculture, manufactures and foreign commerce.  you can trace all profits and spending back to agriculture. 2.  Smith believes that business works best when its centered for on interest.  A good investment can go a long way.  Before investments ment bonds and stocks but now it could mean clothes or car that hold value and advertize you success.   3.  I agree with smith idea of the top three in capital but today's economy has shifted to support the technology and teaching of these resources for things like agriculture.  As before the profit came from mostly the job itself but now its the extras that add on.

Galbraith

America is an affluent society in the fact that it is extremely successful.  America lives up to the standards of our founding fathers.  A sign of America having an affluent society would be the fact that we have the strongest army.  Also, the fact that we are one of the most successful countries.  Qualifications of affluence would be power and wealth.  Without power and wealth no country would be very successful.  America has both of these traits.  Affluence, as I said before, results in a successful country.  For example, America, it is one of, if not the best, most successful country in the world today.     The government doesn't provide jobs for people unless they are involved in the education field, which would be teachers, principals, board members, etc.  An argument that would favor this proposal would be people running their own businesses.  The reason being that they have a guaranteed job....

Marx

1. Bourgeoisie's economic condition would be mostly upper class."Cannot exist without constantly revolutionizing the instruments of production and thereby the relations of the production." Marx said about Bourgeoisie. The economic condition of Proletariat is mostly lower and some middle class.  A majority of them are laborers that work for the class of Bourgeoisie.   2. Expanding the world market for goods affects national identity.  "Paves the way for worse crises and its own eventual ruin." and "by improving the means of production and communication, the bourgeoisie has forced the world into its own mold."  Marx believes expanding the world market will only allow more problems to shown themselves. 3. Marx expects communism to benefits the proletariat economic group.  "Communists work on behalf of the proletariat."  He wanted to enrich the life on the working class and make them as equal as the once upper class.   The rich ...
