HW 39

Part A
Questions:
1. Does the board of education feed you a limited amount of information?
2. Does quality of education alter the quality of life?
3. How significantly does strictly enforced political/religious education differ from general education?

Ideas:
1. School fabricates social life.
2. School teaches morality through society's norms.
3. School attempts to restrict the youth's mind to form only good ideas.

Part B
I believe school teaches you how to think, but then attempts to teach you how to think in only specific ways. In order to have control over society, the generation of a norm is needed. By doing so it stabilizes the minds of the citizens, and the most vulnerable group of people are the youth. Since they have not yet experienced much, they are the easiest target to manipulate by constructing a role model or a smarter being called a "teacher".
In a way education separates us from every other animal. Limitations and restrictions are made to control large groups of people, and school educates the population with rights and wrongs. Though many people are capable of thinking outside the box, since this way of thinking is not taught in the early years of school it is much harder to accomplish.
