THE DEAD POET’S SOCIETY: EMOTIONAL/SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT
What does it mean to nurture?
Find meaning; rewards; members of the human race; being part of something
Knowing your students as individuals
REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS: DEAD POETS & MANN
Belief
The absolute right to an education of every human being and is the duty of every government to see that the means of education are provided
Rationale
An educated people is always a more industrious and productive people
Intelligence is a primary ingredient in the wealth of nations
Serves to prevent drones or non-producers
We naturally seek social interactions and are interdependent (not isolations)
Due to the abundance of natural resources, we must share for the subsistence and benefit of the whole race and pay for the future security of it
Conclusion
Society must be preserved, and in order to preserve it, we must not look merely to what one individual or one family needs, but to what the whole community needs; not
what one generation needs, but to the wants of a succession of generations.
