Hedonism in Institutional Education



Hedonism in Greek philosophy is a doctrine of pleasure which is defined as a single major in the life of goodness, the desire to pursue an ideal of behavior. Two important hedonism theory described in ancient Greece; the Cyrenaics, or egoistic hedonists, espoused the doctrine is one's immediate personal gratification regardless of others, considered the highest existence. While the Epicurean or hedonist rational argues that true pleasure can only be achieved by the mind.

The fact is the case today the educational institution (High school or university) would not escape the hedonism. Starting from the fleet of luxurious, sophisticated gadgets, and branded clothes are used as a barometer for the mutual pursuit of prestige which placed in high achievement. Judging from the hedonistic theory, unfortunately most of the student adopts egoistic hedonist that leads to arrogance and rule out the essence of ethics and fairness. It concerned if you see the reality. If students understand the hedonists upholds rational which puts education as the highest pleasure will certainly make the image of a young generation of students as an eccentric, elegant, and intellect.

She was the first person to teach me how to play guitar when I was just in elementary school. There's something beautiful and pure about the way she plays.  As I grew older, my fascination with music just expended. I was itching to learn more! I remember practically begging my parents for classical music lessons especially the violin and the piano. Unfortunately, life had other plans, We had just moved into a new house, and our savings were dedicated to school and settling in, so lessons just weren’t in the budget at that time. Honestly, though, it was fine.  When I was in junior high, my dad surprised me with a keyboard. I dove right into learning it, and I've loved having it.

Father and Son: Building Bonds

As a mom, there's nothing quite as heartwarming as watching the special bond between my son and his dad unfold. Lately, their quality time has evolved into a full-blown workshop, and it's been an absolute blast to witness.

So,  let me tell you all about the incredible, grease-stained, and glue-covered world of my favorite father-son duo! Gearing Up: Motorcycle Mechanic Masters-in-Training!
