It is a challenge constantly renewed..." Eyes: LBJ's vision was to create a more advanced American civilization addressing the problems of poverty, race relations, and other environmental aspects. He has many plans to improve the country. Achilles heal: with the growing population, it is going to be hard to improve the lives of everyone within the nation as well as choose on which area to focus on first whether it is the poverty or the environment. 

Jakob: I totally agree with what his downfall could be. I wrote similarly that he would have issues having complete agreement and addressing all the issues effectively in action. 

Audrey-- I agree with your interpretation of his vision. He didn't just want to improve one area of society. Instead he was focused on making changes to all parts just like you mentioned.

This means that Johnson is looking to making things equal for all Americans and end all injustice that may lie in our society that will prohibit us from being the "Great Society" he eludes to so much in his speech.
Eyes: Johnson vision is too attack urban and rural development while making sure education is prioritized to create a better society. When Johnson says "great society" he really means a well rounded and equal society in which everyone is able to work together
Achilles Heel: Problems 


Nick: Bernard I agree with your thoughts on Johnson's vision. Overall, I think that he wants to increase the standard of living of Americans, and the quote you picked reflects that.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302354 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302364 Mouth "The Great Society is a challenge constantly renewed.
Eye: LBJ wants to create a society in which every American has a place that they belong in society. 
Achilles Heel: LBJ might have a problem with gaining enough public opinion to join his vision.

JONAH: I agree in some respects, I think he had the public support because his laws would benefit them, but the other politicians and conservatives may have been angry and untrustworthy of LBJ's policies.

Jakob: I agree. A lot of people in American society want resolution with their own specific issues, but might not work for those effected by other life aspects. It's going to be hard to get everyone in the country on board with this utopian ideal, and even then that utopia could still damage/conflict with someone's lifestyle.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302364 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302370 Mouth: "The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all... But that is just the beginning"
Eyes: The "Great Society" is representing the future or American society, and that we should strive to find perfecting in motion, not in resolution.
Achilles Heel: The challenge is more of his ability to get people together rather than addressing each and every need that the people are demanding. The people of America are very polarized when it comes to social values and norms, so total agreement will be difficult to maintain/ create.

Hannah: I agree that it is challenging to try and get everything he wanted to do, accomplished. Especially with the state that the country was in at that time.  
Savannah: I agree with you. LBJ's goals were mainly to improve society. I also agree the problems we could face would include people 

Mychaela: Jakob, I thought the quotation you selected was appropriate because it showed the LBJ believed that the changes we would make to America during his presidency would only be the beginning. There are so many ways we could make the nation a better place for the people living in it and the "great society" programs were a good start to his goals. ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302370 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302386 Mouth: ¨We have the wisdom to use that wealth to enrich and elevate our national life and to advance the quality of our American civilization¨

Eyes: LBJś vision was to create a new an improved nation and society that could withstand the necessary changes of the coming years and foster growth and prosperity for people of all ages.

Achilles Heel: His plans were extensive and while he may have been able to make legislation to go along with his plans, actual enforcement of these things may have been hard.

Mychaela: Audrey, I really like the quotation who chose because I think it shows LBJ's belief that we do have the ability to make America an even better nation. I agree with what you said LBJ's vision for the country was because there are changes that are needed to make progress as well as improvements. I also agree with he weaknesses you saw his vision. LBJ had to get the legislation to pass to make the changes he thought were best for the country. 

Andrea-- I agree with you. Attempting to enforce this legislation would have difficulties, especially since 

Isabella: I agree that a struggle of LBJś plan is enforcing it because it would be extremely difficult to put an end to racism and poverty, since there isn´t a good way to enforce it.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302386 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302388 Mouth: ¨... to advance the quality of our civilization.¨

Eyes: His vision is to create a society that is continuously advancing and has liberties and opportunities for all. 

Achilles Heel: A challenge to be faced for this vision is education and proving sufficient opportunities for youth to attend school and college. Additionally, there is the subject of pollution and its potentially destructive effects on the nation-- it is something that must be dealt with. 

Audrey--I definitely agree that a major challenge would be enforcement of the new legislation because it was hard to create strict regulations that would actually be followed
Margaret: Education is a big problem, in addition LBJ also has to face the major racial tension and civil rights movements in order for society to work together towards he future. ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302388 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302389 Mouth: "It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor." 
Eyes: His vision is for America to use all of it's power and resources to create a "rich and powerful" society. 
Achilles Heel: He has a lot of goals and issues that he wants fixed. Such as the cities, countryside and classrooms. I think this is a lot try and do at once, and Johnson is trying to have society be prepared for the future. So, the time frame is not adequately
 created. 
Margaret: I agree with you, LBJ has bitten off a little more than he can chew almost wants society to be perfect. This all being in the face of a lot of racial tension. ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302389 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302394 Mouth: "Poverty must not be a bar to learning, and learning must be an escape from poverty." This helps demonstrate the emphasis on education and social reform that Johnson was seeking, and what he would like the result to be.
Eyes: Johnson wants an America with less poverty, to be achieved by giving more opportunities in education and fair employment. 
Achilles Heel: He wants to reform education, but has no real method to divide good schools from bad, and no great solution other than to throw money at the problem.

Connor: I agree with you Kyle that he does have a good vision for America, however, doesn´t really have any concrete way of executing this plan. It instead remains very broad in that aspect.

Zack: I agree with you that his vision is to provide fair education for everyone and that is like my post in the fact that he wants to see a high quality standard in the workforce so education and skills are needed to achieve that goal. ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302394 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302395 Mouth: ¨It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods.
Eyes: A society where Americans use talents to benefit the US as a whole and a society that makes us want to be productive citizens. 
Achilles Heel: Some times people may not want to work and that would make his hopes for a willingly productive society to benefit all be hurt. Good production is better than a lot of poor work. 
Bernard: I agree Johnson is going to need the masses to be all in and contribute to america in order for it to be great.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302395 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302396 Mouth: The Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place , a final objective, a finished work. This means there is always room to improve. 
Eyes: He envisions a society where there is less struggle and that people will be able to enjoy life. He see a future society that every other country would want to look up to, see as a role model. 
Achilles Heel: Building and rebuilding the US is not going to be an easy tasks. The population will continue to grow and there will be more and more people to provide for. Costs are going to be tough, but this project needs to be started. 

JONAH: I agree with your ideas, he had a great vision but it was such a large task to undertake for the entire country, its like hitting a moving target.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302396 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302402 Mouth: "It is a place where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goods". 
Eyes: His vision is to create new goals and a new sense of responsibility for the American citizens to ensure the continued prosperity of the nation. 
Achilles Heel: A challenge he may face is being able to follow through on each and every one of these goals. We have seen struggles before with this like the New Deal where some of the programs flourished and others weren't as successful

Nick: I think that Johnson will have similar problems to those of the New Deal, following through on every program is going to be really difficult. Also, I agree with your idea of Johnson's vision, I think that he does want America to prosper.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302402 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302406 Mouth: "The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all."

Eyes: Johnson wants to increase the quality of life for all Americans, he wants America to be like a utopia, where people invest their money in the advancement of society.

Achilles Heel: It's near impossible to regulate all the programs in The Great Society. While some may be effective, it is going to be difficult to advance every aspect of society. Also, just passing the various programs is going to be a challenge in itself since not everyone will agree with LBJ.

Kelly- I agree with what you said on LBJ wanting America to be similar to a Utopian society, since one of his goals he expressed was to continually strive for better.

Connor: I agree that he will definitely be faced with problems in executing his creation of this society as there may be conflicting levels of willingness to agree and adapt to this plan.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302406 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302434 Mouth: "The Great Society is a place where every child can find knowledge to enrich his mind and to enlarge his talents."
Eyes: LBJ's vision is that every American gets an education no matter what race they are or how wealthy they are. He wants to build an almost Utopian society that ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302434 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302445 Mouth:  "where men are more concerned with the quality of their goals than the quantity of their goals."
Eyes: LBJ wants the "Great Society" to be a place that nurtures all components of humanity and is forever progressing towards the future. 
Heel: During this time there was still a large divide between races and the impoverished. I think LBJ would have an issue trying to unite all parst of society completley so that 
Savannah 
I agree with you that we are progressing towards the future. LBJ wanted to make programs/a society that would last. LBJ saw that our goals should be improving our country not by 
Isabella: I agree with you that Johnsonś vision was really in creating progress because he discusses trying to improve cities, rural areas, and education.

Johnny: I never really thought about the fact that LBJ didn't necessarily address the glaring civil rights movement and equality in his proposed "Great Society". ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302445 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302451 Mouth: There are "three places where we begin to build the Great Society: in our cities, in our countryside, and in our classrooms."
Eyes: His vision was to create a society where the country is continually progressing.
Achilles Heel: A struggle with this vision would be putting an end to poverty and racism.

Bernard: I agree with your Achilles heel, Talking about putting an end to poverty and racism is easier than having it be done. I think lots of actions are going to have to be taken in order to achieve this goal]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:18 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302451 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302461  Mouth "it is a challenge constantly beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of out labor
Eyes: he wants a society where everyone can succeed and have a prosperous life  
Heel: He tried too much. I think he had a great vision but if he made so more smaller reforms I think they would have lasted longer. He just was a little too far for some people 

Bernard: I disagree with you Jonah especially when you say "he tried to much" I feel that he was more urgent than anything and wanted the things that plagued america like poverty and racism to be dealt with.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302461 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302497 Mouth: "[Great Society] is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor."
Eyes: The Great Society is one that develops the quality of life for ALL people and have it sustainable for new generations to come.
Achilles Heel: His weakness is the funding and rallying the people behind the society. The vision seems to perfect and far fetched for the common American to work towards it.

Zack: I agree that in order for his plan to work, he will need everyone to back his ideas.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302497 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302505 Mouth: "...three places where we begin to build the Great Society. in our cities,  in our countryside, and in our classrooms. 
Eyes: Johnson is visualizing an America different from the one he is currently in. He recognizes the urgent need for reform in urban areas, environmental agencies, and the education system.
Achilles Heel: Maybe not all Americans agree with LBJ's changes and certainly would not support their taxpayer money going towards these reforms.

Comment from Kyle: I certainly agree that an Achilles Heel is the potential lack of support by American taxpayers, and with your view of Johnson's plan in general. ]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302505 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302508 Mouth: "It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor."
Eyes: Johnson hopes to give Americans from all backgrounds and economic positions greater opportunity to learn, work, and live happily and successfully.
Achilles Heel: He seems to want to give everyone more equality in their opportunities. Though it is possible to work towards this, there are too many differences between people's circumstances within the population to make his ideas of equality work to the extent he wants.

Kylez Kommentz: Samuel, I agree with your stance on Johnson's dream for the Great Society, but disagree with what you think might be a difficulty. I don't think it would be too difficult to find employment for everyone if you expand in all directions, such as both business and the arts.]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302508 https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302540 Mouth: "The Great Society rests on abundance and liberty for all."
Eyes: His vision is for America to transform into a society that exceeds mere economic prosperity/stability or political power and further advances in knowledge and talent for all as well as holding onto the nation's beauty in nature. He furthers his vision by alluding to a collective American effort to achieve such a transformation.
Heel: Getting everyone to unify under/follow this plan to work for the betterment of society as a whole instead of focusing solely on their economic and social necessities/priorities.

Kevin: I would agree with you, as you say that everybody is going to need to help with the effort of transforming this society into a great society]]> 2017-04-20 15:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/michael_zernone/w4eumi4pwe1b/wish/167302540
