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 took oppression for so long that they made a movement to stop the inequality. If treated fairly, women would not need to make their voices so loud in society. They were sorted out as inferior and this of course affected their opinions on others and made their voices stronger.

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...

The Signing

If Aristotle have had seen Howard Christy's painting of the signing of the Constitution of the U.S. he probably would have enjoyed it.  He believed in a government where leadership and laws that allowed the people to have the power.  In the painting it shows government and the commonwealth disagreeing and discussing what laws should be made. The painting includes The president standing and speaking, his cabinet members advising him from behind, the smaller population of congressmen who are in the front rows, and then the larger population of the people who are behind them. He would probably assume that it was formed by a democracy.  Mainly because of the smaller few being criticized by the lager many.  The populace in the back disagreeing with the government in the front. The men who signed the Constitution were men who just got out of a war with a government and had no want to return to that style of living.  They made just laws that would help th...

"Civil Disobedience" and Mexican War

"that Government is best which governs least"  This shows Thoreau believes that a government should only be as involved as it has to, its bear minimum.  His belief in the maximum number of individual rights is greater than the states rights over them.   "Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it." He wanted every individual to have the right to vote/share their opinion of anything the state is doing.  And he wanted the government to take into consideration what was being said to the point of changing their actions if needed. He wants government to treat every person the exact same with absolutely zero prejudice. The Mexican War was started my President Polk who took over state in the name of his country.  This ended up just ruling over a certain populace of people in that area and not really helping them.  Now because of his need to expand his t...
