Man is essentially, or by nature, a "social animal", that is to say, he cannot attain complete happiness except in social and political dependence on his fellow man. Aristotle

We need to declare our educational goals and demonstrate how a particular technology (action) can help us achieve them:

• Help students become certain kind of adults

• Help students understand the major ways of thinking that have

developed in the disciplines Gardner

pupils…. TEACHERS….. HEAD TEACHERSHEAD TEACHERS…… should•Be authentic. •Transcend their cultural conditioning and become world citizens. •Find their vocation and right mate. •Know that life is precious. •Be good and joyous in all kinds of situations. •Learn from their inner nature. •See that basic needs are satisfied. •Refreshen their consciousness; appreciate beauty and other good things in life. •Understand that controls are good, and complete abandon is bad. •Transcend trifling problems •Grapple with serious problems such as injustice, pain suffering and death •Be good choosers and be given practice in making choices

Values Values reflect one's judgment as to what is important in life. Maslow described what values were important in defining one's Being and he called them B Values. These B Values were used to describe self actualization.
