It is more valuable to be practical rather than idealistic because by being practical, people can achieve their goals rather than simply dreaming about it. Being practical is better than being idealistic because little by little someone can finish a goal. In “Community Hero” by Susannah Abby sec 11 says “The campaign was not an easy one.

The Seneca Falls Convention inspired Amy Post and six other women to plan another convention which kept talk about the women’s rights movement going, instead of having the ideas that were spoken about only reach the three hundred people who were in attendance.
