Counts Democracy:
I enjoyed this article. It kind of went on and on and on in the beginning. What I got out of this article was that internal structures of Democracy are weak. But people cannot be sensitive when our democratic was are attacked because we live in a growing and changing society. In education we need to develop good habits, ideas, values, outlooks, and things to be loyal to. It is important to teach our students to be competent and adequate with everything they do. In a democracy we need to let children grow physically, intellectually, and morally. Education needs to teach equality, brotherhood, dignity, and worth. This all seems like common sense but these are all really powerful words to describe a solid democratic system.

Video:

  • Republicans quickly noticed government corruption
  • Progressive Reform needed an honest government 
  • Populist party favored an income tax
  • Theodore Roosevelt was a great President because he said what the people were only thinking
  • Business' were not fair
  • Natural resources were being used too much, over developed
    • 50 wild life sanctuaries
    • 5 national parks
  • Americans are optimistic! 
  • War made America focus less on reforming and more on the war
