Schlesinger's "The American As Reformer"

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

6 pages in length. Ever since the United States of America came into existence, its people have ceaselessly attempted to reform themselves in the name of becoming more socially, economically or politically astute. With each passing generation - and even as frequently as each passing decade - Schlesinger (1950) illustrates how this ongoing transformation has been one of the greatest constants in America's history. Sometimes, as the author points out, the cost of such quest for progress renders a different - and unwelcome - outcome, however, other times reform is exactly what is needed to dig out of an unsavory situation.
