In Part 2, we delve into Deweys intriguing concept of IMPULSES, exploring how they represent the dynamic interplay between individuals and their environment. When environmental challenges clash with ingrained HABITS, it is these innate impulses that drive us to rethink and adjust both our behaviors and our surroundings. The age-old debate of Nature vs Nurture can be misleading, as it often oversimplifies the complexities of human personality. Our inherent behaviors are essentially a blend of habits shaped by cultural customs. Notably, much of education is less about learning in the traditional sense and more about training our habits to align with societal norms. Human nature is adaptable, yet customs tend to be rigid. As our environments evolve, these customs and habits are consistently put to the test, and societies risk disintegration when they become too inflexible. A MORAL ACT serves to refine and reorganize these habits. Thought emerges when our habits face obstacles, leaving only our impulses to direct us. According to Dewey, habit—not reason or instinct—is the fundamental driver of human conduct. He argues that education should guide youth away from the detrimental habits of society, highlighting that our economic philosophies often focus too heavily on OWNERSHIP rather than on the meaningful ways we USE our resources. - Summary by William Jones, Soloist
