Download or read book Economic Civics written by Ray Osgood Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economic Civics This book is the result of a convection that an understanding of some of the elementary principles underlying our economic life is necessary to good citizenship. In times when there is so much opportunity for misunderstanding between those who are associated in doing one and the same part of the world's work, it is particularly important that as far as possible every pupil in our schools shall have a chance to know why and how certain things are done in industry and what remedies are proposed to cure whatever unpleasant features are prevalent. To put these laws and principles in language which the junior high school boy or girl can understand is not the easiest task in the world, even though questions of right and wrong can be made as clear to them as to older people. We believe, however, that such a study as is here undertaken not only is within their grasp but should be of tremendous help in enabling them to understand how the world works and how each one may do his part to the best advantage. To make sure that every pupil understands the machinery of government which must deal with the problems set forth here, chapters three to five give such a brief survey of our governmental organization as is necessary to make clear how the government's part in business must be done. Teachers who are certain that their pupils are thoroughly familiar with this can without harm omit these chapters. For reference work in connection with the study of these topics we may mention the following texts which in part at least are not too difficult for pupils of the age for which this book is intended: Ely and Wicker, Elementary Economics (Macmillan).

Download or read book The Civic Minimum written by Stuart White and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-02-20 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many governments today are engaged in far-reaching programs of 'welfare reform'. But what would a just program of welfare reform consist in? Is the current emphasis on linking welfare 'rights' to 'responsibilities' justifiable? In this book, Stuart White reconsiders the principles of economic citizenship appropriate to a democratic society, and explores the radical implications of these principles for public policy. According to White, justice demands that economic cooperation satisfy a standard of 'fair reciprocity'. Against a background of institutions that are sufficiently just in other respects, those citizens who share in the social product have an obligation to make a productive contribution back to the community in return: every citizen should 'do her bit'. While prominent in the work of many past egalitarian thinkers, this duty to contribute has not received much attention in recent political theory. White seeks to redress this neglect, and to show why and how the claims of reciprocity should be integrated with other important concerns that have featured more prominently in recent literature. These include the concerns to prevent brute luck disadvantage and economic vulnerability. From the standpoint of fair reciprocity, it is not necessarily unjust to link welfare rights with the performance of work-related responsibilities. But the justice of such a linkage depends on how far economic institutions meet other requirements of justice. In policy terms, fair reciprocity thus calls for a generous 'civic minimum' in which work-related welfare benefits are complemented by other policies designed to prevent poverty and vulnerability, secure opportunity for meaningful work, and eliminate class-based inequalities in educational opportunity and inherited wealth. In concluding, White contests the fashionable view that egalitarian reform is unfeasible in contemporary circumstances. The philosophy of fair reciprocity provides the basis for a new public conversation about economic citizenship, in which all citizens - not just those currently amongst the welfare poor - are encouraged to confront their responsibility to others.

Download or read book Teaching Civic Literacy in Schools written by Brian Charest and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical book provides teachers and teacher educators with concrete strategies for doing community-based work. By reframing the act of teaching to include working for social change, the author pushes readers to see school and community revitalization as reciprocal, not separate, projects. Drawing on the strategies and tactics of community organizers and activists, Charest describes an approach to schooling that addresses the social and economic concerns that students and families in under-resourced communities confront in their daily lives. He uses a decolonial framework to examine how schools can de-center Whiteness and reimagine curriculum and teaching. He also shows teacher educators how they can better prepare the next generation of civic-minded teachers to create a more just and democratic society. This model of intentional community engagement, when initiated by teachers and school leadership, is designed to re-position schools to take up questions of equity, racism, and the long-term health and well-being of individuals and communities. “Charest urges us to imagine a path to teaching and learning that is inseparable from democracy . . . Let’s join the movement.” —From the Foreword by Kevin K. Kumashiro, former dean, School of Education, University of San Francisco “I am overjoyed that Brian Charest is brave enough to take a stance on justice-centered teaching as a relational and political act rooted in the principles of organizing.” —David O. Stovall, University of Illinois at Chicago “This book takes up the central problem of our country’s failed education system: how to move schooling away from structures that isolate, stigmatize, and disempower students and communities towards structures that prioritize democracy, relationships, and organizing for power.” —Jay Gillen, teacher and organizer
