I was going to use the title "The purpose of education
in the world system", but I chose to make use of the title of an excellent
documentary I recently watched: SCHOOLING THE WORLD - a Must-Watch!!!
I particularly liked how 'education' is placed
into context within the socio-economic structures of an entire world system.
After all, that is what forms the 'education' of the human being. At least,
it's what 'justifies' it.
So I just wanted to share this documentary and share some
considerations here.
I've been busy many years researching and investigating 'how things
work', on individual and collective level, and in particular I am interested in
how Learning works. This of course has me looking at the education system and
how 'learning' is introduced and applied.
Our education system carries big responsibility, and that includes
parenting, schooling, and nowadays of course the social media. I mean, from an
ethics perspective - shouldn't education give us at least the ability to
understand the world, to function intelligently and to be good at working with
others, co-operating, finding solutions? Would you blame me if I said that the
social media have done better at that than our schooling and parenting systems?
The purpose of our education system has been to create system
servants to serve the system, 'individually' conditioned as self-interest. Our
education systems perpetuates fear, competition, and greed, and it instills the
belief that win-win scenarios are hardly possible, or rare, or why bother.
See - it's interesting:
A Win-Win approach brings exactly that: win-win outcomes.
We see, don't we, that our fear approach, our divide and conquer
approach, has brought only that: fear, and a living application of 'divide and
conquer'. Even in the 'smallest', the individual mind exists within and as
fear, dividing and conquering, balancing out imaginary scales - Imagine!
Consider something- how can it be 'normal' that the basic human
rights, which is supposed to be something each one is born with - the right to
life - seem to be playing-out differently for the rich than for the poor. Ever
wonder to what end? Ever considered that the consequences are affecting everyone?
