   Existentialist

Explanation:  Existentialism is the philosophical direction according to which  one must work to built complete personalities, individual personalities, that is, individualism is the point, which means that everyone is responsible for themselves in the pursuit of personal happiness and their own personal  development, doing so by their own and no one else's will or decision. Such a philosophy, like Ms Peterson's, encourages the freedom of choice for students, that is, for individual personalities, encourages their will to make decisions, not the teacher, because tomorrow, instead of the teacher, someone else will make decisions about them, if, individual personalities, today they don't learn to do it themselves. So, existentialism is a philosophy that encourages individual freedom and thus prepares students to exist as they choose because they are entitled to it.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.
