Dewey’s works influenced many fields including, but not limited to; education, philosophy, communication, and can even be applied to questions in daily life. Dewey was born October 20, 1859 in Burlington Vermont (Field, 2001). Dewey and his three brothers all went to “the public school and the University of Vermont in Burlington” (Field, 2001).
