John Dewey
1. Explain Dewey’s claim that democracy extends beyond a mere method for electing government officials. Do you agree?
2. What is the key notion of democracy, according to Dewey? How is this connected to education?
3. Do you agree that the value of an individual’s contribution to society is not able to be determined before it is pooled with all others? For example, do you agree that a person’s contribution to society cannot in any way be determined on the basis of his or her social status by birth? Explain.
