Woolf Mead

By -

Virginia Woolf knew that her targeted audience was women and the difficult things they used to go through. She talks a lot about how different women and men were and how women now should be grateful for what they are able to do
 
It reveals concerns about the women life and how the men treat the women on a daily basis.

She thinks women should have a room for a hobby she enjoys, which for Woolf it would be a room to write in. A woman could have a amazing talent but it would be very difficult for her to expand it as well as explore more of it without a place of her own.

The temperamental traits of both men and women are aggressive, unforgiving, and sexually driven.
 
In today's society, women are expected to deal with their own problems and to be emotionally and financially independent.

In our society today women are supposed to be proper and to live with their emotions but women who live more like men and act emotionally distant are rejected. Men, however, are the opposite they are supposed to be the ones working and not showing any emotions but if they do, they get teased and are made into a joke for acting womanly.


The primitive cultures that are studied today had different standards for men and women. In today’s time men are expected to drink beer, work, be all about sports, and women are expected to cook, clean, and make babies.

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...
