Description	Democracies engage in 'conscious social reproduction' and democratic education is one agent in that process. Dewey was propounding a conception of a participatory democracy which would reconcile pluralism and community. John Stuart Mill said that education in its stricter sense was 'the culture which each generation purposely gives to those who are to be their successors, in order to qualify them for at least keeping up, and if possible for raising, the level of improvement which has been attained'. This chapter focuses on the styles of education which are designed to produce a range of different democratic personalities the 'controller', the individual 'activist', the liberal 'neutral', the self-conscious subscriber to 'democratic virtue'. James Mill and John Stuart Mill provided two models of education which correspond to two conceptions of the role of the democratic citizen. One model is of a controller and the other model is of the activist for whom democratic citizenship requires positive intervention in public affairs. Book Name: Democracy and democratization
