The Capitalism kills the faculty of Humanities


Capitalism needs men who cooperate smoothly and in large numbers, therefore it kills the faculty of Humanities. The faculty of Humanism is where people are growing and developed. Capitalism needs men who want to consume more and more; and whose tastes are standardized and can be easily influenced and anticipated.
The faculty of Humanities had a major part in the educational mission. Humanities were the basic for education for a long time. Today everything is translated in terms of money, "value for money", "pay for performance", so there is no need for Humanities any more.
Capitalism needs men who feel free and independent, not subject to any authority or principle or conscience. It needs men who willing to be commanded, to do what is expected of them, to fit into the social machine without friction; who can be guided without force, led without leaders, prompted without aim.

Capitalism remains a deeply exploitative and ecologically disastrous way of organizing social life.  The world today needs a major change: become more human. We need to rehabilitate the existence of Humanities: to open more faculties of Humanities with more students. Capitalism continues to operate under the same structural compulsions, producing the same catastrophic consequences as before.  It remains ridden with crises and congenitally unable to subordinate its achievements to the needs of human beings, unable, despite its prodigious productive abilities, to offer even bare survival to vast majorities in the world it dominates.  Anthropocialism is the new solution: a combination between Anthropogogy and Socialism. The logic favoring a worldwide transition to socialism remains as compelling today as it has ever been.
The Significant Individual Learning model (SIL), was developed by Nir Golan, educational and leadership expert, in order to help teachers to develop the uniqueness of their student. SIL model is about the significant learning of the individual in order to reformulate his unique identity.
This significant individual learning model provides tools for the teacher to assimilate the Anthropogogy approach in six steps, throughout which the teacher uses dialogue in order to guide the learner.

The six steps are:
1.   Action- doing
2.   Behavior- conceptualization of the action
3.   Norm- transformation of the behavior to a norm
4.   Value- defining the value in the behavior
5.   Redefinition- redefinition of my unique identity
6.   Teaching- Using the Anthropogogy model to teach the other

The faculty of Humanism is where people are growing and developed. "It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them". (Alfred Adler)
The significant individual learning model (SIL) assumes that the distinction between children and adults is no longer relevant in the digital age and that each student should be treated as a 'whole' person irrespective of their age, people are focused on maintaining control over their lives. The world today needs a major change: become more human. We need to rehabilitate the existence of Humanities.
