Education, Culture and Society
Education, culture and society.
A society or a human society is a group of people related to each other through persistent relations such as social status, roles and social networks. A large social grouping that shares the same geographical territory and is subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Human societies are characterized by patterns of relationships between individuals sharing a distinctive culture and institutions.
The simplicity of life, made me think. As a young black woman from London, I would like to explore the simplicity and beauty of my heritage. A Year at Bible I was able to highlight the strength of the church and how it has evolved and the impacts on society and people’s thinking and adapts to the needs and wants of the community. What does it mean to be a part of a community? What aspect of our government encourages community and diversity, does the social welfare system encourage community and togetherness or is too much power taken away from parents? Does the monetary value placed on looking after a child take away from community, and atomise our society? What values are we placing on our educational system? Is it ethical to base a child’s self esteem on a test, to limit the art of learning and teaching to an institution does it encourage a healthy lifestyle of learning, community and teaching or does it encourage isolation, competition and hostility? Is the welfare system helping promote community or is it undermining the value of community. Is there a need for social inclusion in schools? These are all questions I would like answers to – perhaps one day I will be a contributor to the answers! Is there a need for more multiethnic teachers to support the communication between teacher and pupil? How do we teach children to overcome and prevent problems, rather than cope? The breakdown in family values, in social order and respect, and appreciation. How do we teach our children to appreciate and not
