YOUTUBE c9ddx6m_5Yw Teaching, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau said, must teach us how to live. Pupils or students must learn how to live in their society and world. Nevertheless, though the subjects taught contribute to individuals' professional lives, they often neglect their personal lives, their positions as members of a community, citizens and human beings in our present planetary era. On the one hand, the compartmentalization of discipline-based knowledge, in teaching and research, makes it impossible to tackle fundamental global problems. At the same time, knowledge of many vital problems facing our civilization is not taken into account. That is why, in his book Seven Complex Lessons in Education for the Future, Edgar Morin emphasizes the need to introduce all of these problems at all levels of education.
