Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Life The omission of bibliographical references has been de liberate, though confessedly experimental. The purpose of the writer has been to instigate observation of local conditions, study of one's community, and action, confident, self-reliant action. One voice calling the rural mind to use its own powers of discernment upon its own social problems will not erect, the writer believes, a false educational ideal, deflecting students from the wider experience of mankind. For illustrative purposes the writer has chosen to use, in the main, his own amateur photographs in order to make sure of authentic representations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Community Civics and Rural Life Let youth help shape the world while the vision splendid is still before its eyes. - Jerome K. Jerome. A year ago the author published his Community Civics and Rural Life, in the Introduction to which it was stated that: "Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaning. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen." The present book is fundamentally the same book as Community Civics and Rural Life; but, being prepared tor the use of pupils whose experience is urban, it presents, in accordance with the principle stated in the foregoing paragraph, certain essential differences. The controlling ideas around which all the subject matter of both books is organized are: 1. The common purposes in our community life; 2. Our interdependence in attaining these common purposes; 3. The consequent necessity for cooperation; and, 4. Government as an agency by which to secure cooperation in attaining common ends. Team work through government for the achievement of common purposes may be said to be the motif that runs prominently through the entire text. A few of the chapters in the present book stand practically as written for the rural book, with only slight revision: as, for example, the opening chapter, the chapters on "Our National Community" and "A World Community" (VII and VIII), and the concluding chapters on governmental organization (except for the addition of a chapter on "Our City Government").

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Life and the Rural School This volume is addressed to the men and women who have at heart the interests of rural life and the rural school. I have tried to avoid deeply speculative theories on the one hand, and distressingly practical details on the other; and have addressed myself chiefly to the intelligent individual everywhere - to the farmer and his wife, to the teachers of rural schools, to the public spirited school boards, individually and collectively, and to the leaders of rural communities and of social centers generally. I have tried to avoid the two extremes which Guizot says are always to be shunned, viz.: that of the visionary theorist and that of the libertine practician. The former is analogous to a blank cartridge, and the latter to the mire of a swamp or the entangled underbrush of a thicket. The legs of one's theories (as Lincoln said of those of a man) should be long enough to reach the earth; and yet they must be free to move upon the solid ground of fact and experience. Details must always be left to the person who is to do the work, whether it be that of the teacher, of the farmer, or of the school officer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Century Rural Life Books: The Suburban Trend Of any sociology which this book may contain, much the greater part has been drawn from the author's experience. No one who, for years, has shuttled daily back and forth between suburb and city can have escaped the frequent necessity of formulating his apologia for suburban life. One covers a matter of a quarter of a million miles of distance in about twenty years of fairly average commuting. It is not too much to estimate that at least once for every two hundred miles the commuter has been challenged to defend his faith. Some of these occasions arise incidentally out of friendly exchanges between fellow-commuters. Here is the questioning brother who is doubtful whether or not to give it up and move back to the city; here, on the other hand, the rampant assurance of the neighbor whose zeal for suburban life is still more assertive and robust than one's own. Challenges of another sort come from the commiserations or pleasantries of city dwellers, who keep on contrasting their own happier lots, in season and out. All told, the confirmed suburbanite is virtually compelled to develop a sort of social philosophy about which his numerous observations tend to organize themselves. Enough commuting anecdotes have fastened upon the Erie Railroad alone to supply the essence of quite a respectable suburban sociology. It is in such informal materials that the book has its origins.

This book was released on 2018-07-29 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Life in Litchfield County In many places in the county will be found extensive, low, peaty tracts of land, that once represented lake areas, but which have been filling in for thousands of years by the slow growth and decay of vegetation. In some instances such areas still have a small lake or pond near the center, as in the case of Beeslick Pond in Salis bury. During the slow processes of time, water-weeds crept into these old lakes, peat moss and bushes reached out from the shallow water at the edge, and in the course of many years the lake was transformed into a mere bog, rich in all kinds of botanical treasures. After many more years, as the outcome of changes due to tillage and drainage, it may have become a good piece of mowing land.

Download or read book Cultivating Democracy written by Mukulika Banerjee and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is an anthropological study of the relationship of formal political democracy and the cultivation of active citizenship in one particular rural setting in India, studied from 1998 to 2013. It draws on deep ethnographic engagement with the people and social life in two villages both during elections and in the time in between them, to show how these two temporalities connect. The analysis shows how an agrarian village society produces the social imaginaries required for democratic and republican values. The ethnographic microscope on a single paddy growing setting allows us to examine how the various social institutions of kinship, economy and religion are critical sites for the continual civic cultivation of cooperation, vigilance, redistribution, inviolate commitment and hope - values that are essential for democracy"--

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fairview Idea: A Story of the New Rural Life In the month of August, 1914, war became the chief occupation of the whole world. No one can even conjecture as to the length of the time which must elapse before average humanity will be able to see world affairs in the pure white light of peace. Things which preceded the World War will be reconsidered in the dull baleful glow which preceded the explosion; and all matters following its conclusion will be looked at in the light of its immeasurable effects. In this book all consideration of the war is purposely excluded; for it relates to the inner life of the rural community which must go on wholesomely forever if our nation is to be equal to the responsibilities of either peace or war. And yet the Great War changed radically our manner of looking at agricultural problems. After we engaged in the conflict we suddenly became more concerned about farms and farming, if not better informed or more intelligent.

Download or read book Identity Crises and Indigenous Religious Traditions written by Elijah Obinna and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the complex identity crises among many Christians as they negotiate their new identities, religious ideas and convictions as both Christians and members of Nigerian-African societies of indigenous religious traditions and identities. Through an interdisciplinary interpretation of religious practices and educational issues in teaching and ritual training, the author provides tools to help analyse empirical cases. These include the negotiation processes among Christians, with focus on the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria (PCN) and members of the Ogo society within the Amasiri, Afikpo North Local Government Area, Ebonyi state, in South-eastern Nigeria. Identifying the power dynamic, identity, role and influence of indigenous religions on Christians and the Ogo society, this book reveals the limited interactions between many Christians and members of the Ogo society. Questions explored include: what makes the Ogo society an integral part of the socio-religious life of Amasiri and what powers and identity does it confer on the initiates; how is the PCN within Amasiri responding to the Ogo society through its religious practices such as baptism, confirmation, local auxiliary ministries and organisational structure; and how does the understanding and application of conversion within the PCN impact on its members’ response to the Ogo society? Demonstrating how complex religious identities and practices of Nigerian-African Christians can balance mission-influenced Christianity with indigenous religious traditions and identities, this book recognises the importance of appropriating the powers of indigenous cultures, ingenuity and creativity in the construction and preservation of community identities. As such, it will be of keen interest to scholars of Christian theology, indigenous religious practice and African lived religion.
