This post is a suggestion of ideas and ways that we could create a society that's based on bestowal, where we all seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. The goal is to increase the connection between us, foster cooperation, collaboration and unity, increase efficiencies and decrease costs, while focusing on our basic needs - food, water, clothing, shelter, healthcare, education etc. I'm sure you have your own ideas.
Here are some notes about EDUCATION:
- A New System of Education Based on Cooperation:
- Instead of competitive learning, have cooperative learning; instead of individual learning, have social learning; instead of striving to be the best in class, have children connect in friendship and equality; instead of individual excellence, have group success; instead of personal tests, have group assignments; instead of individual subjects, have subjects that are interconnected; instead of sitting in rows, have students sit in circles based on the principles of the round tables; instead of individualism, have unity and collaboration; instead of the teacher being a figure of superiority and control, have the teacher be a guide and knowledgeable friend etc. More ...
- Integral Education:
- Everyone should learn about how we need to change from personal selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves) to mutual bestowal (seeking to benefit others) and how this affects us, others and all of Nature.
- Education For All:
- There should be 100% literacy in the entire world.
- Lessons of every kind could be made available so everyone on earth could learn about what they're interested in, without barriers or restrictions.
What ideas do you have for building a new society that's based on cooperation, collaboration and bestowal? In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
