Writing Prompts

1. To what extent does education result in the stigmatization of certain identity? Does the social environment of traditional schooling overrule the delivery of values of teachers in shaping the impression associated with an identity? Which aspect can an educational reform manipulate to ensure a more friendly environment for the construction of self identity?

2. Is self identity voluntarily chosen by the individual? Can it be assigned by nature and to what extent can an individual alter the static traits to fit his own expectation? In that situation, what is the definition of self identity?

 

3. How can one balance the supportive teaching method and the possibility of resulting narcissism in educational reform? And can these particular teaching mechanisms be universally applied or they should be considered separately according to the social and cultural background?
