As more is discovered about the powerful impact of lifelong
learning on adults, educators are changing their views about how,
when and where we learn. Learning is no longer defined only in the
context of formal educational settings but in social context as
well including families, the workplace, and religious and political
groups. This book explores how learning is our lifetime quest to
understand personal identity, purpose and meaning while conforming
and adapting to the perceived and real confines of our paradoxical
society.
The author examines the complex social experience of learning,
revealing how culture, gender, race and other societal factors
shape an individual 's identity and ability to function in
relationships the basis of all learning. He also discusses the
difficult paradox of cultivating creative thinking and reflective
action in a society that values the acquisition of degrees,
certificates and titles over actual learning and growth.
