Modern consumerism is altogether a different thing. The consumerist of today is forever dissatisfied with the given. Today consumer abandons as quickly as he acquires. He is caught in the unending cycle of longing, acquiring and getting disillusioned. Further changing social ethos with rise of social media, fake news has led to intolerance and lack of patience. Educationists need to understand this reality and should Approach a new approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact of rising consumerism\nand changing ethos especially on education:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The modern individual has become a hedonist, one\nwho craves to experience in reality the pleasures he dreams of in his\nimagination. He prefers to live insulated from the harsh realities of the\nworld. <\/li>
  2. The individual has become impatient and\nintolerant of almost everything. They are not disciplined, obliged and are\nethically confused. <\/li>
  3. The teacher-student relationship has suffered a\nblow. The teachers indulge the students with unmerited favours to purchase\npopularity as a substitute for reverence. <\/li>
  4. The learning environment is vitiated. The rebelliousness\nand indifference of students progressively activate indifference in teachers,\nwho come to see teaching only as a livelihood. <\/li>

  6. All cherished ideals and goals become redundant.\nNation-building, social transformation, character-building, or building a\nbetter society, or engaging in the goal of perfecting human nature,  all of these sound unreal. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Education policy need to focus on: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Enabling students acquire positive attitudes and\ndesirable habits for keeping themselves fit and healthy. Cleanliness, Healthy\neating, fitness, relaxation, avoiding indulgence etc. should be taught.<\/li>

    3. It is important enable students assume\nresponsibility for their work and duty in the day-to-day learning and work\nsituations and develop positive attitude and skills to work productively and\nefficiently. <\/li>
    4. Teacher should help students to learn how to\nappreciate, demonstrate sensitivity and skills in fulfilling their\nresponsibility as citizens towards shaping of a better society.<\/li>
    5. Awareness and respect for one\u2019s own and others\nrights and responsibilities in the context of Constitutional values \u2013 justice,\nfreedom, equality, secularism, multiculturalism, sustainable development is\nimportant and should be inculcated in students. <\/li>
    6. Ability to work with others in a cooperative\nway, sensitivity towards women, ethnic minorities, appreciation and respect for\ncultural diversity and unity in the midst of diversity is need to be focus of\neducation policy.<\/li>
    7. It is important that education should inculcate the\nvalues of love, empathy, caring, sharing and compassion for harmonious and\nhumane relationships in students. Trust, gratitude, forgiveness, non-violent\nways of conflict resolution, joy of giving, altruism are important values.<\/li>
    8. It is important to enable students develop\ncritical and creative thinking in solving life and societal problems. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      What we are not realising in the process, is that, when educational institutions become malls, everyone ends up a loser, most of all the student. The market has, ironically, made our native vision of education urgently relevant. We need education policy to focus on qualitative education inculcating satisfaction and mental peace in students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
