Plato and Freud

Unlike Plato, I believe that our senses are important. It is much easier to learn with all of the senses, as well as to understand the world with your senses. Of course, someone missing their hearing, like me, can still learn just as much and more than a person with all senses. However, because I lack a sense, I have to try 100x harder than a person with all five senses. Even people, like me, rely more on the other senses to know and to better understand.

Although I do not think that praising sense perception is materialistic, there are alternatives to solely valuing sense experience. Using knowledge, logical facts, common sense, and critical thinking would be quite helpful.

It would be unlike anything we are used to. I believe that it would be a world without anything, no noise, no sight, no texture, no taste. It would be plain and unrecognizable.

If I had to have a sixth sense it would be to see the future. To be able to see into the future would allow me to prevent bad things from happening.

I feel that my dreams are significant because you dream about stuff that is on your mind when you were "awake." It helps your brain process things.

The dreams that mystify me are the ones that are about people who have already died.

The most frightening dreams are those that have your biggest fear in them. For example, my worst dream was when my family was getting killed and I had to watch it. My biggest fear is watching my family die. With that being said, in my dream, someone broke into my house and killed my family in front of me but left me alive. This will forever be my worst dream...thank you to horror movies that I watched that night.

I think that people forget their dreams because it wasn't important enough for them to remember.  
I think that dreaming is not a mental activity because if you are in a coma for example, it is said that you can still dream but it is not exactly brain/mental activity.

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...
