A New Society After the town of Smittenville was destroyed by a nuclear attack in 1993, infrastructure has finally taking place. Though it took nearly two decades, I am excited to foresee what is to come. With the fall of the past social world and rise of the new and improved social world, I am very enthusiastic and appreciative to be elected to create a new ideal society. Glancing at past mistakes, as well as what worked in our society before for nuclear attack will help me establish groundings in hopes to make the people of Smittenville happy. The questions stands, how do we rebuild society? In this certain scenario, to re-create a society that resembles anything that we once had we will need to think critically and learn from our mistakes …show more content…

(cite) After the disaster, we didn’t have a government for many years. I took the iniutive myself to determine a government that would provide reconstruction and power. Using the process, “IDEAS” I was able to come to a conclusion that a capitalist society would work great for Smittenville. Capitalism is defined as “an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state” (cite) This was the deciding factor for many reasons. A society based on capitalism is known for economic growth. The plan is to give the people of Smittenville the chance to have any opportunity they want, without a government dictating them. A capitalist government has proven to work in many well established countries like the United States of America. In a capitalist society, efficiency and production of goods will provide jobs so families can make money, in regards to incentives are of the utmost importance, this will prove to hard work pays off. Market prices, profit/loss system of accounting, and private property rights provide an efficient, interrelated system of incentives to guide and direct economic …show more content…

In our new society we plan to make education a key foundation. From the time a child is the age 4 he/she must be in an early childhood education curriculum. Evidence has shown children who are exposed to early education at a young age excel later in life. The main curriculum from elementary school till highschool will consist of creating a multiple intelligence learning foundation. Children will not only learn Linguistic intelligence ("word smart") Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart"), they will also include Spatial intelligence ("picture smart") Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart") Musical intelligence ("music smart") Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart") Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart") Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart"). Learning from this curiculim will allow for everyone to excel in an area that is best for them. It has been proven that many gifted children are not preforming at their highest level because they were only learning logical mathematics instead of spatial

  • Exploring Gardner's Theory on Multiple Intelligences

    1513 Words  | 4 Pages

    Howard Gardner used to define intelligence as “the ability to solve problems or to create products that are valued within one or more cultural settings” (Gardner 33). The modern day human being would most likely include the words “smart” and “dumb” in their definition of intelligence. Gardner questioned the belief of only one intelligence so he created his own theory that involved seven different discoveries. He didn’t want to call these discoveries “skills” or “talents” or gifts” because those all suggested a drawback so he decided on the word “intelligence,” creating his theory of multiple intelligences (Gardner 33). Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences including, linguistic, logical/mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, spatial, intrapersonal and interpersonal, has many implications for modern education and culture.

  • Gerald Graff Hidden Intellectualism

    723 Words  | 2 Pages

    When Gerald Graff was younger he and his friends would have various debates about sports including what team had the best pitcher in baseball. Graff pointed out that while having these arguments with his friends, they would have evidence to support their thoughts whether it be using statistics to find batting averages or using their argumentative abilities in general to support their opinion. This proves that even people who do not do the best in school are capable of brilliant things, the school system just needs to encourage students to use their hobbies to enhance their academics. Instead of dividing the different forms of intelligence, book and street smarts could merge and grow into a more detailed educational system that can help not just with academics, but with life itself. While it is good to know proper grammar, knowing about dating, sports, or cars can actually get people farther than anticipated in life. Graff thought that in the school system, street smarts is perceived as less than compared to “book smarts” which are encouraged in school. If the two forms of intelligence were to merge instead of separate, the educational system can transform into something

    ...n social planning and happiness for the individual. A town is recognized for the individuals who live in it, not the business it seems to incorporate. Pullman had a disillusioned, egotistical regard for his workers. When asked about his intentions on building the model town, he commented: “Capital will not invest in sentiment, nor for sentimental considerations for the laboring class. But let it once be proved that enterprises of this kind are safe and profitable and we shall see great manufacturing corporations developing similar enterprises and thus a new era will be introduced in the history of labor.” Pullman never seemed to grasp how a workingman’s happiness must be fulfilled on a much deeper level than his mere physical settings. The leisurely enjoyment of oneself as well as an overall establishment of identity was the key. When Pullman planned his model town, it was a dream which he envisioned for himself. A dream which would increase his wealth, improve his business and make him renowned. In his heart, he might have never intentionally wanted to socially deprive his work force; it just so happened that the planning of the town did not take this into proper consideration.

    With unregulated capitalism wages of workers would get reduced. Meaning that people (mostly the disadvantaged) that worked for monopolist would get their salary cut short. Robber Barons developed. Robber Barons being a person who “gives”, but also profits from it. Prices would rise, the reason for this was because there was no competition amongst companies. Lastly, monopolist would corrupt the government. With the monopolist having so much capital, they manipulated the government and those around them. Although the opposing position, “Greed is not good” stated valid points that position is not the strongest argument. With workers getting their wages cut the extra money would go to help the public. It was a bittersweet act. Furthermore, because of greed America is the powerhouse it is today and has been since the Gilded Age.

Traditional theories of intelligence do not account for the ambiguity of classes such as philosophy or for the wide range of interests a child can have. For example, contemporary theories such as Sternberg’s Theory of Intelligence and Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences both account for more than the general intelligence accounted for in traditional intelligence theories.

  • Emotional Intelligence

    The recent works of theorists such as Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg, John Mayer and Peter Salovery along with many others, are beginning to take the meaning of intelligence and learning from traditional mainstream monopoly of intelligence. This description is very broad; but the measurement of intelligence has been very narrow before which didn’t allow for others to be included as intelligent. It is important to take the definition of intelligences and to give that meaning back to the learner and those that work closely with the learner for learning success. Intelligence is a word that has been used by scientists and other thinkers to describe one’s ability to understand concepts and process them quickly to solve problems that come up in our daily lives that we lead. The narrow measurement of intelligences is being challenged by theorist and researchers who have evidence that there are many forms of intelligence that are being overlooked and deserve to be given scholastic attention.

    Classrooms in the past never really took into consideration that all students learned differently, so one method of teaching was used. This method being, oral lectures that students were expected to take notes on, followed by long winded exams. It wasn’t until later down the line that educators realized that not all students are capable of learning and understanding lessons in this way, and researched different ways to improve teaching. For example, Howard Gardner came to the conclusion that each person is one of seven intelligences. : If a student enjoys reading or writing stories and doing puzzles, then they have the intelligence of Linguistic. Students who are drawn to more strategy type games and logic kind of games are said to be of the Logical-Mathematical Intelligence. Students who are very active whether it be in a sport or art activity, such as dance, are said to be of the Body-Kinesthic Intelligence. Spatial students learn with pictures, they need to see things to understand, they are drawn toward drawing and building with blocks. Musical Intelligences are students who are drawn to music, they have the ability to learn by listening and can many times hear things that others are not able to. Students who thrive at being the leader and being in charge of their peers have the Intelligence of Interpersonal, these types o...
