Clive Harber/Schooling as Violence

Uploaded by : Essays-Now.com

A 5 page reflective paper on Clive Harber's book School as Violence, which is a provocative text that presents disturbing information that causes the reader to rethink some basic societal assumptions, such as the idea that education and formal schooling are an unequivocal "good" that can benefit any society at any stage of development. After successfully knocking the foundation out from under this supposition, Harber moves on to show that globally, education is often a questionable enterprise, one that more often as not indoctrinates children to violence, degradation and the acceptance of bigotry and authoritarianism. The writer reflects on Harber's points. No additional sources cited.
