Answer all questions in your own words.
1. Why does Dewey argue that education is the means of the social continuity of life?
2. What issues does Dewey have about "the capacities of the young and the concerns of adults?"
3. Do you think Dewey's views on education support Rousseau's views about the corruption of modern society? Explain why or why not.
4. After reading Dewey's work, why do you think he believed so passionately in the power and virtue of democracy?
