A person in my field that i admire
Jane Addams (1860-1935) was an American social worker, philosopher and activist who co-founded the first social residence in the United States, the Hull-House, dedicated to work in favor of the immigrant population as well as in different educational and social policies. She was also the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931 and the first public philosopher of the same country. I admire Jane Addams, since she had the resources to devote herself to any other area, but she decided to dedicate herself to social work. Another reason why I admire her is because of her thinking, the critical pragmatism with which she gives life to the Hull-house together with her colleague. I found it to be a turning point in the way social work is done. I think her thoughts can be applied to this day, and critical pragmatism should be applied in today's social work. Jane Addams and Ellen gates (co-founder of hull house); they dedicated themselves to working with the people who were most neglected at the time, faced many difficulties, such as racism, xenophobia and sexism. despite the barriers, Jane Addams made history. Because of the above, I consider Jane Addams to be a role model.
