Reflection and criticism on the educational problem

Abstract

Keywords: Social philosophy, education, criticism, reflection and subject.

In the present, contemporary society faces various issues that involve the human being, namely: political, economic, cultural, environmental and educational, among others. On a personal level one of the vital problems to be addressed is education. The educational phenomenon is an invaluable instrument for individuals, because in all that the history of mankind has had and has an idealistic vision on the educational issue, as a means of freedom, expression and opportunity for individuals.

One of the challenges presented by social philosophy is to end this idealistic vision on the educational theme. However, addressing the educational issue does not rule out meeting and touching the various socio-cultural and socio-economic factors behind the problem. Hence the importance of reflecting on this problem, how in such a particular subject, it is limited by circumstances that are determinant as are the materials and the speeches imposing the ideology. In this sense, social philosophy fulfills the critical and reflexive responsibility that each subject has within society, to account for human actions, in this case, the double discourse in which education has developed in history, And the reactions it has in the present century.
