"21st century education is currently teaching economics through environmental and social lenses in multi-disciplinary classes such as engineering, environmental science, as well as social studies. "
Oh shit this random sentence in quote
really convinced everyone I'm sure!And I guess it's bad to learn economics through engineering and social science because... Sciences are bad I guess?
And I have no idea what environmental science is. I've never seen this class anywhere. Didn't you want to also add something like "gender studies"
as you seem to chose things completely randomly?You said "through environmental and social lenses" you didn't say to learn through. Sure integration is great, but substituting it for the classic educational model is just more deconstructivist Postmodernist Critical Theorist garbage specifically designed to erode the institutional foundations of... well everything.
This is why no one seems to be educated in school any more. They don't teach
skills we need, they teach the world through the lens of social "sciences", and we have been over how scientific social sciences are. On a scale of 1-10 of maximum scientific method applied, social sciences rank in at about a 0.2.
Of course if your goal is endless deconstructivist subjectivity now that ambiguity is desirable now isn't it? I don't need to add "gender studies" because academia is one giant hybrid with Critical Theory already, which is what gender studies programs are based upon. AKA Marxism with a vinyl wrap of Bill Nye looking at some beakers over it so it looks extra sciencey.
When you state facts, you shouldn't try to use persuasaion techniques. Facts are facts. No one should have to convince you to believe them. Thats how facts get mixed up with opinions. Just because you guys don't know about something, doesn't mean it was made up randomly. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything and was just stating the way things are being taught in modernized education systems.
You really can't figure out what environmental science is? Sure, the same topics can be put into courses with various names. In the IB, the "ES" program is called Environmental systems and society
ESS is firmly grounded in both a scientific exploration of environmental systems in their structure and function, and in the exploration of
cultural, economic, ethical, political and social interactions of societies
with the environment. As a result of studying this course, students
will become equipped with the ability to recognize and evaluate
the impact of our complex system of societies on the natural world.
Which, when you look into it, is basically the same thing I was referencing from the American "Next generation science standards" which are part of common core.
Also, even though it was off-topic, I just want to post the UCLA gender studies description so that anyone who reads tecshares premodernist mind-mush can recognize its a legitimate field of study.
Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the complex interaction of gender with other identity markers such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, nation, and religion. Gender— femininity and masculinity—is such a basic form of social organization that its operation often passes unnoticed. Feminist scholarship demonstrates that traditional categories used for social analysis and their accompanying interpretive approaches often reinforce gender hierarchies and inequalities.
Interdisciplinary study emerged in response to the partial answers to social problems provided by the disciplines, and our faculty employ a wide range of qualitative research methods for understanding gender roles across historical periods and in different cultural contexts. Our core courses address the concepts of gender and the body, gender and power, and gender and knowledge through a range of topics such as freedom and liberty, social movements, masculinities, work and leisure, politics of social justice, intersectionality, colonial and sexual violence, and visual culture and citizenship.
