This study book explores the relationship between upbringing and social development. It analyzes how the way children are raised influences social structures, democratic citizenship, and freedom. The authors draw connections between parenting practices and global socio-political situations, inspired by thinkers such as Kant, Dewey, Montessori, and Freire.
The book argues that education goes beyond behavior management and advocates for fostering understanding and internalizing democratic values. It addresses questions about identity, we-and-they thinking, and the role of youth policy in shaping a just society. This book is aimed at everyone involved in raising children, education, and youth policy, and seeks to strengthen awareness of the impact of parenting choices at the global level.
