In the first part of this book report, I will be summarizing the book ‘Carl Rogers’ chapter-by-chapter, and then move onto what I like and dislike, agree or disagree with, and how it relates to course content of my book. I hope you enjoy and take time to learn more about Carl Rogers. A Psychologist that has been placed in American History due to the awards he has received and one of the most influential psychologists in American history. So let’s take a look at the Life of Carl Rogers. In chapter one I will be discussing The Life of Carl Rogers. The three subtopics that are most important are: Childhood, Adolescence and Student Days. The reason why I chose the three topics is I believe they are the most important part of development before you become an adult. Carl Rogers was born on January 8, 1902 to the parents of Walter and Julia Rogers. His parents understood the concept of business by making contributions to the community. The contributions became well known to the communities. And in return their inheritance became a cushion that would remain in the family for more than 300 years. Due to their Christian beliefs, Carl was not a child that could get out and adventure life or bring it to their house. So Carl turned to books to enjoy and read about adventures that he had never seen or heard of.

Carl decided to go to the University of Wisconsin where he was going to enroll into the field of Scientific Agriculture. Due to the purchase of his father’s farm land, Carl thought that was something he would like to do forever since that’s all he knew. Once Carl began college he conformed into a man who had a change of heart with agriculture. Carl’s heart was changed and he wanted to become a Christian minister. This caused him to change his major and all of his courses. This is where Carl learned the intimacy of personal freedom. He traveled to numerous places

    Subject Area: Music and American CultureTopic: Jazz: Urban and Rural Reactions in the 1920sIn parallel with the uproar of jazz during the 1920s came the commotion of different critics from various geographical settings. Many of the white people living in rural areas disliked and rejected jazz as a musical genre. However, the urban city-dwellers were more fond of it; therefore, it was more generally accepted and frequently found in city nightclubs and radio stations. Several characteristics of cities also allowed jazz to survive in urban areas over the rural ones, such as: diversity, tolerance, a more progressive attitude, technology (media, radio), more entertainment locations, and a more educated populace. Cities were known for the more relaxed and less-religious atmosphere; in contrast with cities, the rural setting was dominated by a more religious and conservative mood with a homogenous population that was more opposed to the cultural liberalism found in the cities, jazz, and the black society in general. Unlike the rural areas of the time, the socio-cultural dynamic of urban areas, with respect to tolerance, diversity, education, nightlife, and the media, allowed jazz to thrive and become a huge part of American culture.…
