In chapter twenty-six: Theories of Morals of the book “Democracy and Education” written by Dewey John‚ it consists three important quotes of morals. The quotes can be applied in every day life‚ and how we can use them to treat others in the right ways. The purpose of my short paper is to introduce these quotes to have a different view about morals between ourselves and others. The opposition of duty and interest is one way to set up our behaviors for different situations. This opposition‚ on other

How we were taught has a great impact on every aspect of our lives‚ from choosing what we will do with our futures to how we treat one another. The three philosophers that I respect and admire are Plato‚ John Dewey and Paulo Freire. A combination of these philosopher’s ideas and ideals are what will

Would Dewey’s advice for correcting a bad habit work for you? How would you go about reforming one of your habits? According to John Dewey‚ Habits are inevitable. We are empowered by both good and bad habits.

In his well-known “Allegory of the Cave”‚ the Greek philosopher Plato used the analogy of people lost in a cave to explain his belief that only enlightened philosophers should rule‚ since only they could truly understand the world. When I compared Plato’s ideal government to the workings of a modern democracy‚ I realized how different these two are. The U.S. government relies on the rule of the people‚ and does not limit voting rights or the pursuit of public office to any particular class. If Plato’s

Rene Descartes and John Locke were two very bright Philosophers long before we were all born. Between these two there are similarities as well as differences‚ a lot like anything we compare and contrast today. Descartes‚ a man who was born in France and then grew up loving mathematics. Locke‚ who was born in England and grew up to be a very popular philosopher and physician. These two philosophers really made a drive for future philosophers to look back on and reflect Descartes and Locke’s practices

I think it’s a great idea to have students as stakeholders. In Democracy and Education‚ John Dewey calls active student engagement an essential factor of learning and education. "Making the individual a sharer or partner in the associated activity so that he feels its success as his success‚ its failure as his failure‚ is the completing step‚" Dewey writes (1916‚ p. 14). Though Dewey comments on the social environment‚ his philosophies can naturally extend to the school environment‚ which he calls
