Part 2 describes Dewey's concept of IMPULSES. They encompass the interaction of one's self with the environment. When the environment encounters problems with one's HABITS, Impulses are the motivating, innate forces which prompt one to modify habits and/or modify the environment.

Innate behaviors are a collection of habits which one's culture has solidified as Customs. Most education is not learning but rather training of ...
