Society’s disruptors

The government and culture shape the school system. The school system creates resources for students to learn from. The students rarely question what they are taught.

Those students grow up to be parents. They pass on what they know, and send their children to school. The children make friends, learn to conform, and come to see the world much as their parents and teachers do.

The cycle turns again. Those children grow into adults. They find jobs, they vote, they become teachers, politicians, parents. They create the books, the policies, the technologies, the content that shape both culture and government.

And so the cycle continues … one generation handing down its beliefs, fears, and hopes to the next. This is how society recreates itself.

But every so often, someone interrupts the cycle. A teacher who teaches differently. An artist who shows us a new way of seeing. A student who dares to question. These are small breaks in the chain, but they matter. They remind us that culture is not just inherited …it can also be created.

The cycle will keep turning. The only question is: will you simply repeat it …or will you reshape it?
