President Lyndon B. Johnson's Speech: Broken Community And The Cost Of Education
The thought for a great society would bring excitement to many, especially in our modern day. We see such a broken community and the cost of education is outrageous. President Lyndon B. Johnson in his 1964 speech at Michigan’s graduation ceremony expressed the notion of great society with our countries beginnings, industrialization, and the challenge of our future as a nation. He expressed that in order for our future to succeed we would have to be educated to being able to sustain our advancement. It was a call to action and a fire ignited under students that have earned their respective degrees. For a century we vigorously worked to settle a continent and establish a foundation that would carry our nation. Our Founding Fathers saw to it
that our constitution was by the people for the people. We saw the move of God in these men at historical proportions and unity to do what is right for our nation. I am a believer that politics of today isn’t solely about the people, but personal gain. For a half a century innovation was at its peak and an industry that grew beyond our skies limits. The growth brought about a growth of population due to the high demands of companies. We saw movements for both child labor and women rights that brought about necessary change. Prior to the century we didn’t see much government intervention in public matters but President Roosevelt’s involvement in the Coal Strike of 1902 brought about the Labor Department. It was a time that raised us to the top as the top power and a heavy involvement in foreign trade.
President Johnson expressed that our challenge for the next half century is that if we will have the wisdom to use our wealth to enrich the quality of life in the U.S. He expressed that we could start with our education system and the training of our teachers. The greatest statement he made was that we needed to explore new ways to stimulate the love of learning and the capacity of creation. I believe it was a lesson of the Industrialization period we could have used to extend such a great era of growth.
