Nature of Our Changing Society: Implications for Schools.
Harman, Willis W.
The dominant values of a society determine the type of education offered its citizens. American education has until now been largely influenced by the values of individualism, science, material progress, and technological advancement. Recent widespread rebellion and dissent have provided clues evidencing dissatisfaction with a world built upon these traditional values and suggesting an alternative set of values to shape the society of the future. This alternative value-set includes humanitarianism, personal liberty, equality, and self-actualization. Educational planners must realize that the educational system can create the desired society, and that they are now at the point of choice between a person-centered society and an extension of the current material-centered one.
