Re-education

To reeducate means to train again, or rehabilitate through education. This concept can be both good or bad depending on the source. In a positive light, re-education can help individuals who have been taught the incorrect way to do something, reteach someone how to write, update people on new technology or new ways of thinking. On the contrary, reeducation in the hands of the wrong people could be used to corrupt others, transforming their though process in attempts to create a more or less programed individual.

I believe re-education is the process of re-learning something that you already know, but through a new perspective. Looking at something from many views is a good strategy to utilize when trying to understand something. I believe it is a form of rehabilitation in the human brain, and it helps to better adapt to new situations.

Re-education: (for me) carries the connotation of concealed and tactful indoctrination, similar to reinforcing somehing that is already learned-however in a different manner- propaganda is a good example of re-education- It takes something that the general public already accepts and shoves it down their throat and eventually manipulates it to suit an agenda- However, the problem with that is there is that agenda- someone is telling another party " we know what is best for you." Again, for me, this word carries heavy inimical undertones and I would advise steering away from it- for you , yourself, may one day be re-educated.

Assignment 2

To reeducate means to learn something for a second time. It could be as simple as breaking down something that you do naturally without much thought and attempting to understand it more fully. It could also be learning something in an alternative way or refreshing your mind on something you may have forgotten.

re-education

I feel like when someone says they want to "re-educate" someone about something they want to really drill a fact into your head. It shows that what ever they are trying to teach you must be really important if they see it suitable to re-visit the topic.
