Good afternoon, Oleg Gennadievich! Thank you for your lectures. I work as a teacher at a pedagogical university. My students teach me and expose established stereotypes about young people. I listened to your lectures about old age. One of my students opened another aspect of old age to me\u2014boredom. She writes: \u2018I have no scientific interest. I am not old enough to stop dreaming and start arguing that magic cannot exist, citing theorems and laws of physics.\u2019 I am glad that people who believe in miracles and magic will go on to teach primary-school children, and I am saddened that we, university teachers and school teachers, present science to students as something boring. Our young women are deep people who think about God and build a relationship with Him, value family, and are oriented toward having many children. This became visible in their choice of pictures for writing assignments. Each of their texts turned out very distinctive and sincere. Some made us laugh, some made us cry because they touched us deeply, and some even elicited poetic responses from listeners. When discussing the age-periodization theories of Elkonin and Erikson, the students naturally began looking for their own age group. Seeing that friends and colleagues were singled out there in social communication, they became indignant: why were parents absent, when their relationships with their parents had now become close? A discussion broke out in which the students argued that they have a strong spiritual bond with their parents and described how they respect them. I wanted to share this with you\u2014my faith in our young people, their purity, and their elevated outlook. With respect and all the best!<\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-643","review","type-review","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
