True peace is not merely the absence of war, it is the presence of justice.

If I were still alive, I would be appalled at how much women's rights have regressed. Seeing where reproductive rights stand now, I would be writing multiple pieces on my opinions and plans of action, as well as creating safe havens for women in need. 10/10 #soc308 #soctheory

My purpose was to always lead with empathy and aid those who life had not been as kind to. The importance of my work is to show that life can be better than what we are handed and that there is value in caring for the children of our community 09/10 #soctheory #socialtheory

Hull house was one of the many solutions I came up with to improve poor urban children's lives. Creating Hull house is my solution of bringing peace, progress, and happiness to these children in need. It was my job to lead with empathy and compassion, and I did 08/10 #soctheory

I’m most known for my looking-glass self-theory. I developed this theory based on my observations that the way someone viewed themselves was a result of how they believed others perceived them. This impacts an individual's self-image. 6/10 #soctheory #soc308

A big question I had about the social work centered around the improvement of poor communities and stop the use of child labor. I longed for a purpose and meaning to my life and found it in helping children from poor urban children 7/10 #soc308 #socialtheory

A famous concept tied to my name would be the "settlement house movement". As my friend Ellen and I established Hull House, we created the first of its kind in the U.S, providing healthcare, language classes, and childcare for poor communities. 6/10 #soc308 #socialtheory

I did not have a mentor, but I was deeply inspired by the words of Charles Dickens in addition to my mothers kindness. It is because of them that I took an interest in poor communities. I wanted to become a doctor, but I found other ways to give back as time pased 5/10 #soctheory

When it comes to our democracy, I like to think myself as one of the champions for "sympathetic knowledge". What is this term, you might ask? It is about learning through the approach of acting for others and caring about someone other than ourselves 4/10 #soc308 #socialtheory

My book "The spirit of Youth and the City Streets" faces the conversation around the challenges that, at the time, was affecting urban youth. Dare I say, this book is one go my favorite pieces I've written. 3/10 #soctheory #soc308

I went to the University of Michigan because I didn’t want to drift away from my home, Ann Arbor. After fighting with illness I eventually graduated with my bachelor's in mechanical engineering, but I always knew my heart was in philosophy & economics. #soc308 #socialtheory 1/10

My successful father allowed me to live free of financial worries, gifting me the time to relax & enjoy a life filled with reflection & studying. During this time, I contemplated the idea of self, then took those ideas and applied them to my children. #soc308 #socialtheory 2/10

During a tour in Europe I visited settlement house in London and was inspired to open one of my own. That was the beginning of the Hull-House idea! My friend Ellen Starr and I set out to improve the conditions in industrial Chicago, so we did. 2/10 #SOC308 #socialtheory

My real name is Laura Jane Addams and I grew up as the eighth child in a household of nine. My father was a successful man and a friend to Abraham Lincoln! I was initially interested in medical studies, but had to step back due to personal health issues. 1/10 #SOC308
