The Century of the Child

Ellen Key

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In "The Century of the Child," Ellen Key presents a profound and often provocative examination of child-rearing and education in the context of modern society. Written during the early 20th century, Key's work reflects a shift in social consciousness, advocating for a child-centered approach that emphasizes the emotional and psychological well-being of children. Her lyrical style melds philosophical musings with pragmatic recommendations, making it both accessible and intellectually stimulating. Key's exploration of the role of children within society is enriched by her critiques of contemporary educational practices and her vision for a nurturing, familial environment, positing that the future hinges on the quality of childhood experience. Ellen Key, a pioneering Swedish feminist and educational reformer, was driven by her own experiences and observations as a teacher and a social thinker. Her nuanced understanding of the interplay between culture and child development informed her passionate advocacy for reform. Moreover, her belief that true societal progress could only be achieved by prioritizing the needs of children underscores the urgency of her message, culminating in a work that resonates with both her contemporaries and modern readers alike. Key's insightful observations on childhood, alongside her proposals for radical societal change, make "The Century of the Child" an essential read for educators, parents, and social reformers. This book not only invites reflection on childhood itself but also challenges readers to reconsider their roles in shaping future generations. It remains a timeless testament to the belief that a society's greatest investment is in the well-being of its children.

Early America’s Most Important...

Editors Charles River

Throughout his presidency at the beginning of the 19th century, Thomas Jefferson had worried about the future of the western U.S., seeing that settlements in the Ohio Valley and lower South relied upon the Mississippi River. France’s controls over the region, in his estimation, put the U.S. at a severe disadvantage. His solution proved successful beyond his wildest imagination, for Napoleon did not only sell New Orleans to the U.S, the portion that Jefferson instructed his ministers to make an offer on, but all of “New France,” the entire area of Louisiana. Jefferson might have said later that his purchase of the territory “strained” but did not “break” the Constitution, but also should have boasted that, with one stroke, he had removed one less obstacle to American expansionism. The Louisiana Purchase encompassed all or part of 15 current U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, and it allowed Jefferson to plan something he had talked about since taking office: an expedition deep into the unmapped and largely unknown continent with the final destination being the Pacific Ocean. This could prove the most significant of the goals that Jefferson - a person who thought of himself as a scientifically-minded thinker - wanted to accomplish as president.
In the aftermath of the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition was a much-heralded blow for American rights in the face of international competition, but that was only one of four expeditions authorized by Jefferson. Four years before Lewis and Clark set off, an army officer from New Jersey led two long-distance treks, one northward to the headwaters of the Mississippi River and the other to the Southwest. These were the only expeditions authorized by Jefferson while they were already en route, planned and launched by subordinates within the military. Indeed, the career of Zebulon Pike was “dominated by ambiguously motivated explorations of the American West.”
