Every scientific example is already documented in the article, if there were any (I wrote that a long time ago and do not recall). Everything else I said is either from my own personal experience or something I heard from an editor at a writers' conference. I stopped attending those about 30 years ago because even then they were very political.
Thank you very much for your kind reply. I was curious to learn if you had some ideas of written material to recommend, regarding policies behind the design of text books or other material.
I am writing a thesis on social sustainability, angled towards western school development, focussing on learning environment, results and curriculum for adolescent age. Motivation is overflowing, even for me being in the late side of my fifties.
All the best for the rest of the holidays and keep writing!
As a father I have seen the increasing use of effects in their text books over many years, where symbolics are used that systematically marginalise our boys, and clearly indicate to an uncertain future for our western white boys and men. When you worked as a copyeditor in the mid 1990’s - the orders given to you by your leader for correct choices of symbolics sounds familiar with what I saw for twenty years soon here in Norway. Can you share some scientific references on this matter? I fear that this complex is possible in the west founded on blind faith in «progressive lobbyism» and pray i am wrong. Best Jan
RIGHT ON again Hanna! In my experience a good 50% of the college students didn't want to be there. They were just running up their parents or their own debts. Your statements about kids/adults feeling worthless and using drugs to get a feeling of accomplishment is also right on the mark. My 11 years of teaching in the prison system also confirms your statements on peoples feeling of lack of self worth.
