Education is actually mass hypnosis.
Does that mean the teacher is hypnotizing the kids into believing P comes after O? Yes.
Why do you think:
first: we are taught thermodynamics
second: are asked to submit an assignment on laws of thermodynamics
third: the professor asks us to deliver a presentation on car radiator
fourth: there are lab activities on endothermic and exothermic reactions
fifth: then lab activities on effusion and diffusion of gases
sixth: need to submit another assignment on functioning of a refrigerator
sixth: we got to write a test on the entire course
to fuse thermodynamics to our brain cells in a way that even if a person drinks water, he can feel the heat transfer within his body.
Every concept is taught from the basic and then built upon. With examples, theoretical explanations, lab experiments, assignments that make us work up our brains around it. And in the end, an examination when everybody studies the subject again, remembering, reciting, mugging up facts and understanding theologies.
The process stresses upon laboring over the same thing again and again.
That is the reason why educationists emphasize so much on eye contact and have words like "confidence", "trust", "focus" ..."attitude" associated to it but don't explain the real thing- hypnosis.

going on same lines, what u r taught at home- our so called values imbibed in us is hypnosis again..
ReplyDeletethinking about it, hypnosis is also not the correct word!! its ignorance breeding from inexperience.. till the time we are taught something i dont think anyone would even think about the particular subject(or phenomenon eg thermodynamics).. to know or understand abt a topic we never imagined would exist, we read and get taught and take everything for granted (hypnosis as u call it)..
I guess calling it hypnosis would be appropriate if u had the understanding/knowledge of the subject, u had opposing ideas abt it as compared to what was being taught and still u agreed with ur teacher..
So i would kinda disagree.. but then again its my opinion..
