I participate in this project, because I've always liked art and design. Not generally just photography but also, comics, paintings, doodles etc. Getting into this project will also allow me to connect with other people all over Europe, create new friendships and expand my ideas.
Although I do more of a "freestyle" photography as in, I take modeling photographs of my friends (prom nights, personal interest), nature...I am also very flexible and willing to adjust to any theme that is required. I wish one day, to work in France, because I have been very passionate about their culture, language and lifestyle in general, hence I've been studying the language for over 4 years now.
There is a growing feeling today that there is something wrong with our system of education but, what is it? Well, we are going to school or sending our children to learn about the world, which is, how we already know, changing very, very fast. However, our schools haven't changed much in hundreds of years, they're resting stagnant and dull. In fact, thought leaders from around the world agree that the current system of education is designed in the Industrial age mainly to create factory workers, and this industrial age mentality of mass production and mass control still runs deep in schools. Children as well as adults who attend schools, are being watched, told what to do, how to do it in a restrictive deadline. If it is not done, they will fail and will be considered as incompetent for their work. Students then think of themselves as less valuable and non-matching to their peers, which leaves a physcological pressure thinking that they're not good enough. That stress is then also attached to their parents as well. What professors mostly fail to understand is that not all students work the same. Some of course, because of their obvious, phyiscal or mental state, but others who dont have those problems, appear to not have the ability to think about their process and work differently than their professor instructed them. They aren't allowed to use their imagination, to expand their ideas but rather to do what is told - which is again the sign of the "industrial factory worker mentality".This is also leaving no room for passions and interests, every student is put to learn the same thing at the same time in the same way as everyone else, which we know, that is impossible, and denies the basic right of us as humans, that everyone is different and unique in their own way and that others have bigger tendencies towards something, that someone else doesn't have.
As well as the things that I've mentioned in the previous text, I am also looking into bribe, or rather how sometimes some students pass, by bribing professors with money or even in extreme cases sexually. While the hardworking student is denied his education and pass simply because he fails to understand or doesn't have that what the professor 'wants'. The problems, even though it's difficult to believe, are even genders of the students, their sexuality and religion.
I believe that the title is pretty much self-explanatory, as in Unjust Education - is correlated with money, status, differences in political and social views, sometimes even blackmail of failing the student if he/she doesn't do what he/she was told.
