I think the analogy of the current education system creating "little worker bees" is dead-on. The current education system, in general, is teaching kids how to do tasks, not why they are doing them. Education as a right of passage and on to a job instead of education and understanding as a valuable things in and of themselves. The cultivation of "self" as apposed to valuing one's role in community or a larger meaning is a HUGE paradigm shift. Previous generations were taught to do things or not do things based on an accepted moral standard. Kids today are taught to do what benefits them, which is ideologically dangerous. Yeah, it's easy to get them to behave for rewards, but you look at where this leads, and you end up with a lot of little empty, self-absorbed, people with a certain sense of entitlement because they hit the "feed bar" so they expect to get a gumball. Or a government-mandaged healthcare plan. This only touches on one of your points. I may comment on others later. - Jennifer Muller Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:58:15 +0100 http://www.thejamesallenshow.com/home/what-is-wrong-with-the-world.html#comment-8 Great blog. - Nancy Fri, 01 Jan 2010 11:24:22 +0100
