Education or Indoctrination? - Douglas Castle ~Education or Indoctrination? ~Intellectual Growth or Behavioral Containment? ~Encouragement of Innovation, or Rewarding of Conformity?  Q: I am growing increasingly curious to determine the underlying purposes for our academic institutions and practices. What portion of our education is given to encourage us to think and to learn...and what portion of our education (through the established educational system) is intended simply to control and contain us? Question Authority. Question the Status Quo. Question the motivation of any person or organization which discourages the very act of questioning. - DC Faithfully, Douglas Castle http://aboutdouglascastle.blogspot.com/ http://wwwtnnwc.com/ p.s.
