When we need to clear things up.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the third in a series of posts about a reflec­tion on our abi­li­ty to social­ly evolve. These posts should be read in the order of their publi­ca­tion. For example, star­ting with the 6th would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

In the last post, I tried to break down the word “edu­ca­tion”. Because of its close link with the word “ins­truc­tion”, we could agree that, like “construc­tion”, we are dea­ling with the assem­bly, the col­lec­tion of ele­ments, inter­ior ele­ments. Well, that’s enough ety­mo­lo­gy, you will unders­tand that I find it fas­ci­na­ting and I invite you to have a look at it in your own time. It is the dis­co­ve­ry of our world through language.

The fact remains that the defi­ni­tion of the word “edu­ca­tion” is still rather dull. So I’m going to go into a more in-depth and richer defi­ni­tion, using the mul­tiple mea­nings that the concept of edu­ca­tion in the 21st cen­tu­ry can have.

First­ly, edu­ca­tion must build itself. And yes, edu­ca­ting is good, but we have to have a topic on which to edu­cate “stu­dents”. Let’s take chil­dren first. How have we cho­sen the topics to edu­cate them on? If we think about it, we can iden­ti­fy a com­mon axis for all edu­ca­tion. Whe­ther it is for ear­ly child­hood, child­hood, ado­les­cence or even adult life until death, all edu­ca­tion has a com­mon core.

Curious to know what it is? I’ll let you think about it first before going any further.
