Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the question of whether education can transform people and the limits of any such transformation. The author posits that human nature, like other living things, is subject to the law of growth, and that growth is the process of realizing potential. The rate and direction of growth is influenced by both heredity and environment and the key differential between these factors as they affect us, is that heredity provides potentiality for development, while environment either restricts or enables the realization of that potential. The author argues that while physical potential is largely fixed, our spiritual potential is virtually unlimited. This is because consciousness allows us to recognize our own potential. The author supports this argument with examples throughout history of people transcending expectations associated with their birth or circumstances. The book concludes that environment, in the form of our social and cultural interactions, remains the key influence on the realization of our potential. As a result, the author argues, educators and those responsible for the personal development of others should understand the incredible depth of possibility that all humans possess and adjust expectations accordingly.
