Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Youth and the New World, Essays From the Atlantic Monthly The purpose of this book is to acquaint young men and women with some of the problems that concern America. Whether these problems are to be solved even partially depends, in no small degree, upon whether youth recognizes what they are, before they lead him to a place where he can only wish that "he might have known." Man is master of his fate only when he holds some of the cards in his own hand. It is hoped that this book will be of special use in those classes in English composition the fundamental purpose of which is the training of young people in the search for and the presentation of ideas. The editor has found in his own experience in the teaching of English composition that students write best when they are stimulated to self-expression by ideas that seem to them important and pertinent to their own interests and ability. The relation of youth´s new time to the experience of age; education, which for so many years is his major interest; the spirit of America, and especially disputed points of economic and political organization; the changing nature of our population, with its difficulties of adjustment of racial elements; the new and growing importance of women in the state; the problem of international organization; and, finally, the importance of spiritual values - these are the themes which the essays in this book illustrate. Those essays have been chosen which seem most likely to set young people thinking, to challenge them to hold opinions of their own, and to stimulate them to a search for further knowledge.
