Routledge Living In A Learning Society - New Prospects Series 4

Explore the complex connections between life paths, personal identities, and the educational journey in Living In A Learning Society. Part of the New Prospects Series, this Routledge publication examines how significant learning experiences shape individual lives across three generations. By analyzing periods of war, structural changes, and the expansion of educational opportunities, this text offers a deep look into how social well-being and wide educational choice impact society. The book provides a framework for understanding education through four distinct groups: resource, status, conformity, and individualism. This work is designed for those interested in how social and cultural interpretations of learning influence policy in late-modern and postmodern societies. It serves as a detailed study of how history and social structures define the meaning of education for different generations.
