Title: Facet of Process Philosophy Impacting American Government - Free Paper Sample
Headings: 

Content: As legions of young American men from all socio-economic backgrounds began to obtain a higher education, the notion that higher education should be democratized began to spread throughout American society. As a result, the Higher Education Act of 1965 was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. The Higher Education Act of 1965 provided for Pell Grants, or Federal grants to college students from lower-income households, and the Federal student loan program, which provided Federally subsidized loans for students of all income levels to attend colleges and universities. As a result of these funding entities, the attainment of a higher education is no longer a privilege, but a duty of almost all American citizens, and it is now no longer possible to obtain a decent standard of employment without first obtaining a college degree. Indeed, the profound changes that have occurred with regards to access to higher education, and the provision of funding for its pursuit, are evidence that process philosophy has a profound impact on the actions of the United States government. Conclusion
While there are political factions within the United States who would like to believe that society and culture are potentially static, this seems to be but a fantasy. As has been demonstrated in the above examples, American society is exceptionally dynamic, and the United States government must change its policies in order to keep pace with the changes that occur in society. When one examines process philosophy, especially as it has been articulated by socialists, it is clear that this is the philosophical ideal that has most profoundly influenced the trajectory of the United States government and its policies (Johnson & Stefurak, 2014). Indeed, a government is a reflection of the society from which it has arisen, not vice versa, and it must evolve in accordance with social change. References
