discuss Can schools influence our views about the world?

[Alamson]

Education helps us develop critical thinking ability to question established norms. It also provides a platform for socialisation, allowing us to engage with diverse perspectives and broaden our worldview. But there are educated people who act stupidly and are intolerant of other people's culture, religion, beliefs and views. Can schools and educational institutions shape our views or do they simply reinforce existing beliefs?

 

[Heatman]

It also depends on who's the teacher. If you're taught by a racist teacher, there's a very big chance that your core view about the world generally is going to be so twisted and wrong.

Schools will certainly influence your world view. The kids taught in Chinese schools and American schools will have different world view, kids taught in Islamic school and Christian schools will have different world view.

If you're talking about religious influence from schools depending on the part of the world the kid schools, it's very possible for that to happen. Religion is a very powerful tool.

Not just religion, there will be difference in opinion in other subjects as well. Do you think they teach how Britain suppressed countries in Asia and Africa in British schools?

Yes, they do. Ooh, you think they don't teach British colonial history in schools in UK? Even though they leave out the brutal aspect of their colonial history, they still touch areas such as abolition of slavery, World War I and II. It's all under the UK's National Curriculum.

They don't teach what they exactly did in their colonies. They teach about "their proud history, and how sun never set in their empire." The history of British colonialism in the countries where British ruled and the history of British colonialism in Britain are entire different.

It's exactly the same thing I've already said. They simply leave out the heinous part of what they did and focus on the better part of their dominance.

 

[Apsara]

Absolutely, schools play a big role in shaping our views about the world. They provide exposure to different ideas, cultures, and perspectives, and teach critical thinking. The values and information shared by educators can significantly impact how we see society and global issues.

 

[Ashake]

The educational environment plays a decisive role in developing our perspectives about everything in the world. The educational system provides students with contact to numerous cultural outlooks that enhance their understanding of the world.

 

[Reelz]

Education institutions serve as main factors which mold our perspectives of the world. The teachers has the capability to mold student perspectives which can create an enduring effects. My take is that, schools should support student questioning whatever knowledge is dished out to them instead of requiring them to accept knowledge without analysis.

The curriculum and activities of a school can help shape a child's view on certain things. There are schools a child can attend and he or she could be moulded and trained in line with the developing world we live in.

 

[Maina]

Schools shape our worldview by teaching knowledge, values, and social norms. They influence how we think, interact, and understand society.
