We congratulate teachers across the globe on the occasion of #InternationalTeachersDay!

“One good teacher in a school will gradually expand their influence and positively impact other teachers.” This belief shapes the work of many CSOs. But is good teaching alone enough to influence institutional culture? #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/334

15 Powerful Visuals About Psychology & Life 1.

15 sociologists who understood society before society understood itself: 1. Karl Marx : the system does not just exploit your labor, it shapes your desires too so that you never stop labouring 2. Max Weber : modern life while chasing systematic existence traps people inside invisible cages called rules, efficiency, and routine 3. Émile Durkheim : loneliness is not personal failure, it is what happens when society loses cohesion 4. Pierre Bourdieu : your “taste” in music, food, language, culture is an inherited class privilege disguised as choice 5. Michel Foucault : power works best when you think someone is watching you all the time and you start policing yourself without anyone forcing you 6. Erving Goffman : social life is like performing in a theatre, and people are performing different roles in front of different audiences sometimes in front of others as front stage and sometimes in private as back stage 7. Zygmunt Bauman : modern relationships feel fragile because society itself has become unstable and always changing shapes like a liquid 8. C. Wright Mills : your private struggles are often public issues created by larger systems.. so if you are finding it difficult to find a job, it might be less about you and possibly more about how it might be the economy at this moment.. same is with personal struggles with relationships, break ups, divorces, depression, infidelity, meaninglessness.. it’s less about you and more about how the society is at the moment 9. Herbert Marcuse : people can feel free while living inside systems designed to control them 10. Jean Baudrillard : modern society does not consume products, it consumes symbols, images, illusions 11. Antonio Gramsci : the strongest domination is when people voluntarily accept the ideas hurting them 12. George Herbert Mead : your “self” is not born inside you, it is built through interaction with others.. so your image of yourself in your head is how you think others think about you.. 13. Talcott Parsons : society survives because millions of people silently perform expected roles every day and agree with what rewards come with those roles 14. Harriet Martineau : you cannot understand a society unless you examine how it treats women and the powerless 15. Ulrich Beck : modern society creates risks so complex.. and society is categorised accordingly on how well one can ward off risk better than others.. and it’s reaching a point that even progress itself starts becoming dangerous Will share more in coming days and how sociology really makes your life better 😊

Books are quietly disappearing from children’s hands—yet the need to read has never been greater. No breakthrough—only questions. If print-rich homes no longer work, what will? What Will Make Children Read Today? reflectivediary.com/node/332 #SundayDiaryy

Certified, But Not Prepared: The Difficult Transition Most young teachers are not rejected only because they lack skills. They are also filtered by language, class, and schooling backgrounds. Competence—or structural exclusion? #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/331

You can train teachers—but can you transform classrooms? Teacher training doesn’t fail because of methods. It fails because we ignore who the teacher is becoming. Identity, belief, and system realities shape classrooms... #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/327

Making Study Possible: A Few Simple Strategies I ask: “Who wants to study but can’t?” Almost all hands go up. So it’s not laziness. Studying isn’t naturally rewarding. Try: track words, stay consistent, make it routine. #SundayDiaryy reflectivediary.com/node/318

#SundayDiaryy A sci-fi film led me to reflect on cloning, memory transfer, and the future of human longevity. What if education, too, is a rebellion against limits—of time, body, and imagination? Read Sci-Fi, Science, and the Spark of Learning reflectivediary.com/node/273
