This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The moral elements of individual character are inevitably social. And the social obligation immensely strengthens the sanctions which enjoin them. When a man “has trained himself,” to use the words of Lord Morley in dealing with Voltaire’s religion, “to look upon every wrong in thought, every duty omitted from act, each infringement of the inner spiritual law which humanity is constantly perfecting for its own guidance and advantage ... as an ungrateful infection, weakening and corrupting the future of his brothers,” he views each struggle within his own soul against evil and each firm aspiration after purity not as a mere incident in his own spiritual biography but as a fight for social good and for the perfecting of the nation and of humanity. And the struggle for social good and the perfecting of human life is fundamentally a struggle for the triumph of ideals in personal wills. God can take hold of men only in man. He revealed Himself and wrought redemption less by a social process than by a personal incarnation. And the only way of which we know to uplift the life of the nation and to fit it for its mission and its ministry[8] is to reform our own and other men’s characters, and ourselves to be what manner of man among men we would have the nation be among nations. It is of some of the elements of character of which men stand specially in need to-day that we are to speak in these lectures. What is good in our lives as individuals and in our life as a nation is not in need of discussion here. And there is no nobility in analyzing and deriding our weaknesses. Our purpose is to urge our keeping if we have not lost them, and our regaining if we feel them slipping from us, some of the elemental moral qualities and spiritual resources which are vital to the capacity for duty and to the living of a full and efficient life.It has seemed best, on the whole, to preserve in the printed volume the free colloquialism of the lectures as they were delivered.

Download or read book An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance written by John Foster and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In John Foster's 'An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance,' the author delves into the detrimental effects of widespread ignorance on society, exploring the ways in which it hinders progress and perpetuates inequality. Written in a persuasive and eloquent style, the book examines the intellectual and moral decay that results from the lack of education among the masses, drawing on historical examples and philosophical arguments to make a compelling case for the importance of knowledge and enlightenment. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century England, Foster's work shines a critical light on the social structures and power dynamics that thrive on ignorance, offering a thought-provoking analysis of the role of education in shaping a more just and equitable society. John Foster, a renowned British essayist and social commentator, was known for his sharp wit and keen insight into the pressing issues of his time. His background in journalism and activism informs his passionate plea for educational reform in 'An Essay on the Evils of Popular Ignorance,' making it a seminal work in the field of social criticism. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in the intersection of knowledge, power, and social change, as Foster's thought-provoking arguments continue to resonate in today's world.

Book excerpt: 'The New Education' is a book that chronicles the changes in educating children in formal settings, which covers events and practices that occur between the late 19th and early 20th century. Behind all of the chapters is the same idea—the idea of educating children—an idea which has taken firm hold of the progressive educators in every section of the community. The schoolmaster is breaking away from the traditions of his craft. He has laid aside the birch, the three "R's," the categorical imperative, and a host of other instruments invented by ancient pedagogical inquisitors, and with an open mind is going up and down the world seeking to reshape the schools in the interests of childhood. The task is Herculean, but the enthusiasm and energy which inspire his labors are sufficient to overcome even those obstacles which are apparently insurmountable.

Download or read book The Globe and Anchor Men written by Mark Ryland Folse and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the World War I era, the United States Marine Corps’ efforts to promote their culture of manliness directed attention away from the dangers of war and military life and towards its potential benefits. As a military institution that valued physical, mental, and moral strength, the Marines created an alluring image for young men seeking a rite of passage into manhood. Within this context, the potential for danger and death only enhanced the appeal. Mark Ryland Folse’s The Globe and Anchor Men offers the first in-depth history of masculinity in the Marine Corps during the World War I era. White manhood and manliness constituted the lens through which the Marines of this period saw themselves, how they wanted the public to see them, and what they believed they contributed to society. Their highly gendered culture helped foster positive public relations, allowing Marines to successfully promote the potential benefits of becoming a Marine over the costs, even in times of war. By examining how the Marine Corps’ culture, public image, and esteem within U.S. society evolved, Folse demonstrates that the American people measured the Marines’ usefulness not only in terms of military readiness but also according to standards of manliness set by popular culture and by Marines themselves. The Marines claimed to recruit the finest specimens of American manhood and make them even better: strong, brave, and morally upright. They claimed the Marine would be a man with a wealth of travel and experience behind him. He would be a proud and worthy citizen who had earned respect through his years of service, training, and struggle in the Marine Corps. Becoming a Marine benefited the man, and the new Marine benefited the nation. As men became manlier, the country did, too.
