Democracy and Education

Democracy and Education was published in 1916. I was struck by how similar the world was to that of today. The world was/is at war. The US was in full swing of the industrial age, the US is now in the information age. Education is the key to success in both cases. Dewey believed that education was essential for life. Because of the industrial age, there were more demands of an individual to function in a diverse society. School was an essential ground to experience the differences of culture. With the globalization of the information age, we still have this need. I believe that we need a more educated society than we currently have to help our nation succeed in an increasingly technical world. With the current backlash against education, I have my concerns. Perhaps it is not the content we are teaching but how we are teaching it. Perhaps Dewey had the answers 100 years ago. Dewey believed that we could not fully achieve the benefits of education based on the dualisms that education has throughout the curriculum. More on dualisms in a moment.
