New Perspectives on Education: A blog series. Part 1: Introduction

Katie Clymo — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:36:00 +0000

During her travels abroad, Katie Clymo is writing a mini blog series entitled “New Perspectives on Education.” This is part 1 of her series.

The basics for education and the educational process seem to be fundamental and easy to grasp. The reality is that it is much more than that. The deeper, more philosophical meaning behind education and the field being mindset is a unique collaboration of ideas and thoughts. We end up experiencing the world in three different ways: education, personal relations, and change of environment. Education has and always will be undergoing changes in its beliefs, teachings and followings.

This same mentality goes for field being. The ability to change, adapt, and conceptualize differences link these two together. Education for us then becomes a performative philosophy. The field being scheme of education stresses individual acts creatively interwoven into a social fabric. Making connections and creating relationships throughout their professional and personal endeavors makes or breaks an individual.

Change is a good thing, without a change in ones environment; a stagnant aura is seen and felt. The differences and changes help to create and recreate history, education, objectives and much more. Over time, change maybe hard to conceptualize, in the end it is the only way to keep moving forward. Progress, sharing of new ideas, and thoughts become essential pieces to the world that we live in today.

Change can also be a bad thing. The possibility and outcomes are endless. There is much to consider when dealing with the concept of change. Change is a never-ending battle over whether one should or should not. These things can affect our lives, the lives of others, and the things around us. It is not up to us to determine change or what is good or bad. Regardless of what we do, change happens, affects us each differently, and yet we seem to adapt one way or another.

Health and sickness. Wealth and poverty. Relaxed and Stressed. Happiness and sadness. Life and Death. These are the ways in which we conduct our everyday lives. The results are how we approach the changes to our lives. Whether or not we accept the changes and how we handle them become our existence.
