    Per 4

    1) John Dewey was a philosopher and educational reformer. He entwined his beliefs about education with common beliefs about democracy. He believed that education should be based on students and their experiences instead of the strict traditional teaching. He thought that in order to increase public voting rights we would first have to reform education to make sure the public was properly educated.
    2) The purpose of the settlement house was to offer social services to the urban poor.
    3) One issue Jane Adams fought for was helping people climb out of poverty. She was the cofounder of the Hull House which was one of the fist settlement houses.
    4) Dubois was more active and Washington was more passive. Dubois wanted African Americans to act against society and government while Washington wanted them to help themselves be accepted into white society. They were both very passionate about the same goal.
    5) Dubois believed you needed to assert yourself if you wanted to achieve a goal in society. Washington believed you needed to work with the majority in society to get what you wanted.

    1. John Dewey was leading in a movement that pin pointed on how a person is achieving and growing rather than a knowledge and through personal experience. Some educational reforms were that professors were teaching new techniques, women were starting to enroll in colleges, and more children were started to be in school, as progressives pushed them.
    2. The whole point of a settlement house was to provide people that didn’t have any money or little money with a house in a city slum. This house might not have been nice, but they had shelter and that’s all that mattered.
    3. One issue that Jane Addams fought for was she always wanted to help other people and she always wanted other people to be healthy and have the advantages they should have. A good example of this is that she would create health clinics for many neighborhoods.

    Q.) Briefly describe John Dewey and his educational reforms
    A.) John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose thoughts and ideas have been highly influential in the United States and around the world. His views on education can be expressed as the following "Education as a Necessity of Life", of his 1916 book, Democracy and Education: an introduction to the philosophy of education: "What nutrition and reproduction are to physiological life, education is to social life. This education consists primarily in transmission through communication. Communication is a process of sharing experience till it becomes a common possession."

    Q.) What was the purpose of the settlement house?
    A.) The settlement houses offered social services often targeted towards the urban poor. The settlement movement started in London in the mid 19th century. These houses often offered food, shelter, and basic, as well as higher education, provided by virtue of charity on part of wealthy donors, the residents of the city, and scholars who volunteered their time.

    Q.) Describe one issue that Jane Addams fought for
    A.) Jane Addams was a devout Pacifist. She held fast in her beliefs that fighting was wrong and any problem or argument that arose could be resolved peacefully.

    Q.) Explain the similarities of Washington and Dubois
    A.) Washington’s views on "racial uplift" were that Washington offered black acceptance in disenfranchisement and social segregation if whites would back the idea of black progress in education, agriculture, and economics. Agriculture to Washington was one of the soul ideas of his "racial uplift" theory. Dubois horribly disagreed with many of Washington's opinions. He was an avid supporter of the rights of blacks everywhere. Civic equality, education, and the right to vote
    Q.) Why did each believe that their way was the best way?
    A.) Washington was convinced that his school had education that would keep blacks "down on the farm". Dubois believed that education was necessary for everyone no matter what race they were. He believed that education for anyone would lead to potential success and that everyone should have that opportunity.

They wanted to promote blacks in society and were involved in anti-discrimination efforts. The difference between DuBois and Washington was that they promoted different efforts to achieve their goals. DuBois was involved in the Niagara Movement and Washington was involved in the Atlanta Compromise. Washington argued for self-help and accommodation as DuBois urged blacks to assert themselves in political and economic rights.
    5. Washington and DuBois believed that their way was the best because Washington’s hard work gave him a major position in the world of education which shaped his ideas in the civil rights movement. Washington believed that African-Americans should best gain equality to whites through establishing a solid labor force. Also, Washington believed that a slow acquisition of wealth and culture was the best way to gain equality. DuBois however, felt that Washington's plan to gain equality was only going to further increase the oppression of African-American's in the United States and more specifically the South. Instead of a plan of accommodation, DuBois favored a plan of political action.
