You believe in the creation of a society where cooperation, equality, and communal living replace competition and individualism, leading to improved living conditions for all.
Owenism is a socio-economic philosophy that emerged in the early 19th century, named after Robert Owen, a Welsh textile manufacturer, philanthropic social reformer, and one of the founders of utopian socialism and the cooperative movement. Owen's philosophy was a critique of the industrial capitalism of his time, which he believed led to social inequality and injustice.
Owenism is based on the belief that human character is formed by the environment in which individuals live and work. Therefore, by creating the right conditions, society could shape individuals into cooperative,…

What might be the social and ethical implications of replacing competitive exams with collaborative projects in schools?
@9JDG3QQProgressive4mos4MO
It would be better and there will be a higher rate of hardworking students and more socialism in class
@9JFY8T5Libertarian4mos4MO
Tale as old as time. One or two kids will ending up doing all the work. Exams should only be a competition against yourself.
@9L5N8X22mos2MO
That may be true early on, but group projects being the norm will disincentivize the behavior over time. Nobody likes a freeloader who chooses to be that way.
@9JFY227Republican4mos4MO
Rather than having standard tests, having students work together would teach better social skills and show students that more minds working together can achieve greater things. It can also show students where their weaknesses and strengths lie and what kind of person they can work well with.
This will allow kids to see the benefit in working hard as well as getting more practice in working with others.
@9JDFJLXPeace and Freedom4mos4MO
Maybe it will be better for the students to do projects but at the same time i think the exams are necessary
Exams show you what you have learned and the projects allow you to build your understanding of the subject.
@9JF9XTW4mos4MO
Collaborative work means one student does not have control of their results which can be unfair to high achieving students.
@9JDFWGK4mos4MO
Students will be more inclined to help eachother. When they see different ways and methods of learning and figuring out problems it can expand their skills.
@9JF22K74mos4MO
I thinl exams are not the way to judge a students "grade" because not everyone is a good test taker and there needs to be other options
@9JDH84QRepublican4mos4MO
More will get done and it will be more useful to people rather than being to much to take in

How would you feel about a job where your performance was evaluated on teamwork rather than individual accomplishment?
@9KC2GTM3mos3MO
This does not work although teamwork is important, no one should be judged by it as there are always slackers
@9KC2GQBIndependence3mos3MO
No one else's hard work should reward someone else. And nobody's slacking should take down another person. I would not like this job.
Wouldn't like it all because it only takes on person to ruin it for everyone else. So, if the job is done well but an individual or certain individuals, everyone will be receiving credit when they don't deserve it or if one person messes up it is a reflect on the whole group.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways do you cooperate with others to achieve common goals, and how does that make you feel?
@9HK8XHR5mos5MO
I think that it's pretty important to cooperate with others to achieve common goals.
@9HK8WS65mos5MO
I would say that it is important to cooperate and help others achieve their goals, and it makes me feel grateful and proud.
@9HK98JBRepublican5mos5MO
As a member of a republic, it is vital for the will of the people to be represented. While I personally take leadership in many of my roles at school when I can, it comes from a place of servant leadership and co-operation, which, while similar in a way to the Owenism ideas, doesn't mean I fully reflect the idea of breaking with Lazzire-Faire.
@9HK8T6L5mos5MO
I think owenism is stupid goverment shouldnt control us

What role do you think education plays in shaping a cooperative and harmonious society?
@9HNFKSYPeace and Freedom5mos5MO
Yes because human characteristic are highly influenced by the environment a person is in.
@9HNF95S5mos5MO
Foster empathy and understanding education can help individuals appreciate diverse perspectives, cultures, and also experiences, promoting harmony.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What potential conflicts do you think might arise in a society based on complete transparency and sharing?
@9HXY6YQ4mos4MO
There is no such thing as complete transparency and sharing. There is always going to be a group or individuals that are able to get around the system and steal from others.
@9HXY9CMIndependent4mos4MO
I think that it could lead to more disagreements, because people will always disagree even if they are honest with each other.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How does working on a team project change your attitude compared to working on an individual assignment?
@9L5H9DB2mos2MO
It takes more time to socialize with your members and you have to communicate and each participate ans there are some people that don't do any work and it becomes frustrated compared to individually and you can get it done quickly while trusting your work.
@9L5GXSH2mos2MO
Team projects are superior because they are collaborative.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would your definition of success alter if your society valued collective achievements more than individual ones?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
If your community embraced complete equality, what individual talents or hobbies might you contribute?
@9K8PNDB3mos3MO
I don't know it kind of doesn't seem like my problem
@9K8QLWK3mos3MO
I might contribute my talents in language and communication to facilitate effective dialogue and understanding. Additionally, my passion for teaching and knowledge sharing could be channeled to empower others through education, promoting a sense of equality through the dissemination of information and skills.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What changes would you expect in social media interactions if the platforms encouraged collaboration over individual expression?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Describe a time when a group's encouragement helped you achieve something you might not have managed alone.
@9KL5Q232mos2MO
When I didn't make a team I wanted for soccer, my family helped me to reach my goal which wouldn't have been met without their help and encouragement.
@9KL5NPGWomen’s Equality2mos2MO
Again no time that I can remember that attributes to the situation or question at hand right now sorry.
