The Experience

The study and practice of experiential learning has gone ahead to encourage people to live in their realities and not in any social construct made by another individual. It strongly believes that the school system or that religion is highly colonized and should not be taken hook, line, and sinker. Rather, existence should be defined on the overall experience an individual perceives both internally and externally. Internal here would refer to body composition, sexual beliefs, or other issues that make up one’s internal system. External would refer to society, religion, school, family, government, etc. I believe the question here is, Should we have a consensus of what is acceptable or not? How much longer will experiential learning be propelled into society (without accountability and checks) before it gets extreme and we have full anarchy? The objectives of this dialogue, are to: 1. Begin taking the first step towards having a better, more wholistic view of experiential learning because experience is coming from multiple sources and yet it varies within individuals. 2. To bring key players (The law, family, faith, and educational system) together. 3. Understand who and what defines right or wrong; morality or immorality—the law, schools/education, family, etc., or all of the above. 4. If all of the above, then what becomes “acceptable” practice? 5. Consider if there is, actually, the need for teaching accountability alongside experiential learning. Note. I am not saying this will solve the problem (if there are any) but it could be a start to dialogue.
