Indoctrination
:inˌdäktrəˈnāSHən
:noun
:the process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

This is a controversial subject to some degree. Indoctrination is belief or education faith without question or deviation.

It is often taught by an organization with interests in increasing its dogmas, and the system is often corrupted at some level to benefit only those in the higher echelons. This isn’t to say things like religion, education or politics are bad. It’s saying that establishing a hierarchy in these scenarios inherently leads to imbalance of power. Some people thrive in this system — regardless of status. I strive for a more equal system.

I also question everything. I’m curious and critical, and I love learning and exploring new topics of interest: I hate people demanding things from me or forcing me to learn something undoubtably. I’d rather accept things on my own terms. I carry this mindset into how I teach or advise others.
