This essay is based on the philosopher John Dewey and his work “The Public and Its Problems.”
Attached is a copy of what I find is the most relevant chapter and what should be written most about, as well as a more detailed instruction for the paper.

These essays have two major components
1. A concise and relevant outline of the primary text (for
instance Dewey).
2. A critical assessment (your “reaction”) to the text.
There are many ways to provide this assessment. You
may for example apply on specific aspect of his
argument to a current or historical political event. You
may even choose a fictional setting (a film, a novel,
etc.) The goal is to demonstrate your grasp of the
primary text and your ability to apply it judiciously.
