The ideas of John Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced American thought for over one hundred years.
Dewey was born in Vermont in 1859, and throughout his life he kept the respect for experience, individuality, and fairplay that shaped the character of the nineteenth-century Vermonter He viewed his own life as a continuouslyreconstructive process, with experience and knowledge building on each other
By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its essence As the intellectual leader of the progressive
schools, he asserted that there was danger in rejecting the old unless the new was rooted in a correct idea of experience
Trang 3He held that experience is an interaction between what a person already knows and the situation at hand Previousknowledge interacting with the present environment influences future experience.
Dewey believed that experience could not be equated with education because all experiences as not necessarilyeducative Experience is educative only when it contributes to the growth of the individual, but it can be mis-educative if
it distorts the growth of further experience It is the quality of experience that matters Thus, productive experience is
both the means and the goal of education Furthermore, since education is a social process, truly progressive educationinvolves the participation of the learner in directing the learning experience
During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically These writings were influential both during his
lifetime and after his death at the age of ninety-two He viewed his whole life as an experiment which would produceknowledge that would lead to further experimentation The range and diversity of Dewey's writings and his influence onsociety place him among American's great thinkers

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City For a long time, it has been the newspaper of

The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in a restrained and
objective fashion It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectualreadership instead of a mass audience However, in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with morepopular, colourful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City
Despite price increases, the Times was losing $1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896 Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily He hired Carr Van Anda as editor Van Anda placed greater stress than
ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage ofinternational news The management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazinesection, and reduced the paper's price back to a penny In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every aspect of
the sinking of the Titanic This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued
to enhance its reputation for excellence in world news
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called "Pentagon Papers," a secret government study of U.S involvement in the Vietnam War When it published the report, it became involved in several lawsuits The U.S Supreme
Court found that the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S.Constitution Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs's grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweepingchanges in the organization of the newspaper and its staff, and brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite toregional printing plants

The ideas of John Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced American thought for over one hundred years.
Dewey was born in Vermont in 1859, and throughout his life he kept the respect for experience, individuality, and fairplay that shaped the character of the nineteenth-century Vermonter He viewed his own life as a continuouslyreconstructive process, with experience and knowledge building on each other
By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its essence As the intellectual leader of the progressive
schools, he asserted that there was danger in rejecting the old unless the new was rooted in a correct idea of experience
He held that experience is an interaction between what a person already knows and the situation at hand Previousknowledge interacting with the present environment influences future experience
Dewey believed that experience could not be equated with education because all experiences as not necessarilyeducative Experience is educative only when it contributes to the growth of the individual, but it can be mis-educative if
it distorts the growth of further experience It is the quality of experience that matters Thus, productive experience is
both the means and the goal of education Furthermore, since education is a social process, truly progressive educationinvolves the participation of the learner in directing the learning experience
During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically These writings were influential both during his

The New York Times is a daily newspaper published in New York City For a long time, it has been the newspaper of

The Times was established in 1851 as a penny paper whose editors wanted to report the news in a restrained and
objective fashion It enjoyed early success as its editors set a pattern for the future by appealing to a cultured, intellectualreadership instead of a mass audience However, in the late nineteenth century, it came into competition with morepopular, colourful, if not lurid, newspapers in New York City
Despite price increases, the Times was losing $1,000 a week when Adolph Simon Ochs bought it in 1896 Ochs built the Times into an internationally respected daily He hired Carr Van Anda as editor Van Anda placed greater stress than
ever on full reporting of the news of the day, and his reporters maintained and emphasized existing good coverage ofinternational news The management of the paper decided to eliminate fiction from the paper, added a Sunday magazinesection, and reduced the paper's price back to a penny In April 1912, the paper took many risks to report every aspect of
the sinking of the Titanic This greatly enhanced its prestige, and in its coverage of two world wars, the Times continued
to enhance its reputation for excellence in world news
In 1971, the Times was given a copy of the so-called "Pentagon Papers," a secret government study of U.S involvement in the Vietnam War When it published the report, it became involved in several lawsuits The U.S Supreme
Court found that the publication was protected by the freedom-of-the-press clause in the First Amendment of the U.S.Constitution Later in the 1970s, the paper, under Adolph Ochs's grandson, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, introduced sweepingchanges in the organization of the newspaper and its staff, and brought out a national edition transmitted by satellite toregional printing plants
