From birth to death, a person has to constantly learn in order to survive, to adapt to the changing reality, to find and to know himself and reasonably live your life.The concept of lifelong learning, training, self-improvement is present in many philosophical and scientific works.It continues to be supplemented to this day.
Why the need for continuing education?Simply order not to sink to the existence of situations templates and stereotypes.After all, life is so varied and versatile, that dwell in their own development - existent crime.
main difference between man and higher animals - the ability to be creative.The ability to express themselves through creative work and word, the ability to innovate, streamline and create stole from humanity due to the reflexes of animals whose livelihoods aimed at ensuring its bio-survival and production of offspring.
people, thanks to the ability to learn and share their knowledge, first by word of mouth, and then use the script, reached the heights of space, penetrated the atom, learned to treat terrible diseases, transformed the Earth, created a lot of cultural monuments and works of art.
knowledge is acquired, starting at school, and in some cases even earlier.There are methods of teaching very young children eighteen months of reading, mathematics and languages.School education currently includes items that in the future help to get technical or humanities.Lifelong learning can contribute to the comprehension of many sciences, organize knowledge and apply them in practice.
But it would be wrong to say that the continuing education - is good and nothing but good.Emerging Science and technical progress may degrade humanity back to the level of animal existence.There is an excellent caricature of human evolution from ape to man the Information Age and back to the monkey.This is not just a funny picture, a warning, saying that the work done from the ape man, and the rejection of the labor would lead people to an animal existence.
Many people understand this danger and trying to oppose it as much, at least in my family and immediate surroundings.
famous scientists and futurists are sounding the alarm all the bells, publishing articles and books, but humanity's desire to increase their own well-being and comfort, the desire to easily pull the fish from the pond is so great, that the danger is ignored or seen as distant.Most of the people beyond measure come to rely on technology in all spheres of life, so soon will not be able to sew their own clothes, without the machine, bake bread, build a house, to get food and drink, raise offspring, and so on. D.
only continuing education, self-improvement and self-knowledgetogether with the spiritual iskatelstvom can stop near the abyss of humanity, and will not fall into it.But it must be understood not one, but millions.Parents are required to pay as much attention, not only mental and physical development of children, but also care about their culture, creative realization and spiritual growth.
