Which of the two sorts of democracy is more consistent with how elitist theory sees democracy working? Explain, referring to two relevant aspects of elitist theory and two aspects of whichever sort of democracy you choose.

Direct democracy: Citizens participate individually and directly in political decisions and policies that affect their lives, rather than through elected representatives. This form of democracy takes inspiration from the democracy of Athens in ancient Greece, whose citizenry included Socrates. Ancient Athenian democracy was direct not only in the sense that the assembled people made decisions, but also in the sense that the people – through the assembly, council, and law courts – controlled the entire political process, and a large proportion of citizens were involved constantly in public affairs.

Indirect democracy: This form of democracy places power in the hands of representatives who are elected by the people. Political parties often become central to this form of democracy if electoral systems require or encourage voters to vote for political parties or for candidates associated with political parties. Elections are important not because they provide direct citizen involvement in governance but because they provide a sense of legitimacy to the decisions taken by the political leadership. This system enables political leaders to make decisions according to their judgment of what is best without intrusive public meddling.

Do you think that it can live up to the promises proponents make for it?

In answering these questions do some research on apprenticeship programs which are currently being made available to students and on apprenticeship programs as they existed during Colonial times. Use both the text and outside resources as you collect pertinent information.

Home Schooling

Families in colonial America were largely responsible for educating children . During more modern times, home schooling became an increasingly more popular option when schools were shuttered during the pandemic and online learning proved less than optimum.

Advocates for this educational modality maintain that it has multiple advantages. It provides students with a curriculum that is tailored to their particular needs and also frees them up to spend time on projects or work opportunities that might benefit them more than would sitting in a classroom. And it, likewise, allows students to avoid the bullying and social pressures than can make their school days unpleasant. Do you think that it can live up to the promises proponents make for it?

In answering these questions do some research on the apprenticeship programs and the home schooling efforts which are being offered to today’s students and on these educational modalities as they existed during Colonial times. Use the text, outside resources, your personal observations plus dialogues with others as you collect this essential information.

Do you think that the educational system as it is presently functioning in the United States serves students well? Or do you think that it might be more responsive to their needs, if is revamped to incorporate a mix of educational modalities that predominated in colonial America?

Some things to ponder before you even begin writing this essay: Do you think that the educational system as it is presently functioning in the United States serves students well? Or do you think that it might be more responsive to their needs, if is revamped to incorporate a mix of educational modalities that predominated in colonial America?

Questions you should respond to are written in italics.

Apprenticeship programs

Many young people in Colonial America took part in apprenticeships; they learned a trade as they worked alongside experienced crafts persons.

Might updated apprenticeships be more responsive to the needs of students than are the educational programs now operational in America’s cities? Might they send students on their way to a career while they are still in high school? Might apprenticeship programs sponsored by unions grant participants a chance to earn while they learn?

2. Discuss ways the photography of Shirin Neshat presents Muslim women far differently than they are typically presented.
3. The Stuckists strove to undo what they saw as elitism and egotism in the art world by returning to figurative painting and an emphasis on producing work that expressed their feelings and experiences. In doing so, they didn’t just create paintings, but also created propaganda, held protest demonstrations, and conducted investigations into the inner works of galleries and museums. Did they help their cause or hurt it by doing so? Can you find any evidence suggesting their efforts yielded success?
