Abstract

Če bi si zastavili vprašanje, od česa je odvisno preživetje posameznika, bi se odgovor glasil: od družbe. Če pa bi si zastavili vprašanje, od česa je odvisen obstoj družbe, bi se odgovor glasil: od posameznika. Med posameznikom in družbo torej vlada pomembna soodvisnost. Če gledamo z vidika posameznika, je vsako njegovo vedenje in vsako njegovo dejanje družbeno determinirano, saj družba posameznika oblikuje glede na svoje potrebe. S pomočjo socializacije si namreč družba prizadeva oblikovati ljudi tako, da se obnašajo na način, kakršnega od njih pričakuje in zahteva. Eden izmed ključnih dejavnikov socializacije, ki pomembno vpliva na oblikovanje in utrditev določenega družbenega značaja, je šolski sistem. Zanj je značilno, da deluje na način, da ohranja in spodbuja ideologijo določene družbe v določenem času. Šolski sistem je ideološki aparat kapitalistične družbe. Za kapitalistične oz. postmoderne družbe velja, da so to potrošniške družbe, saj potrošništvo predstavlja osrednjo kulturno prakso. Da potrošništvo lahko funkcionira, mora družba poskrbeti za ustrezen tip posameznika, in s tem seveda tudi za ustrezen tip socializacije. Potrošniška družba socializira posameznike tako, da postanejo potrošniki oziroma patološki narcisi. Narcizem je tako postal prevladujoči psihosocialni značaj kolektivni pojav današnje družbe, s katerim zadovoljujejo potrebe potrošniške družbe. Šola z zakonskimi predpisi spodbuja vzgojo, ki je otroku prijazna. S tako vzgojo proizvede patološke narcise, kar pa je rezultat, ki je ugoden in koristen izključno za družbo, saj omogoča nemoteno delovanje sodobnega potrošniškega kapitalizma. Družba tako ne samo da škodi otrokom, ampak starše celo uspe prepričati, da je tako ravnanje otroku v korist. Šolski sistem pa ob tem da proizvaja prisilne potrošnike, služi tudi temu, da zagotavlja samoreprodukcijo slojev. Šola namreč na različne načine izvaja socialno selekcijo in hkrati uspe prepričati ljudi, da je tak sistem pravičen. Pod krinko enakih možnosti dejansko poglablja razlike med sloji. Šolski sistem se, da bi prikril svoj dejanski namen, največkrat sklicuje na zagotavljanje enakih možnosti za vse učence, kar pomeni, da naj bi ob vstopu v šolo imeli vsi otroci enake možnosti za uspeh. To pa ni res, saj je sposobnost otrokovega dojemanja in njegovo znanje ob vstopu v šolo v veliki meri odvisno od njegove socialne pripadnosti oz. kulturnega kapitala. Šolski sistem oblikuje tudi znanje, kar pomeni, da kurikularne vsebine niso nevtralne, objektivne in vsem enako dostopne. Obenem tudi niso del univerzalne in enotne znanosti, temveč zbir znanstvenih odkritij in kulturne tradicije z elementi raznih ideologij. Ob uradnem kurikulu v šoli deluje tudi prikriti kurikulum, ki deluje v prid vladajoče ideologije.

Secondary abstract:	If one asked what the survival of an individual depended on, the answer would be: society. If one also asked what the existence of society depended on, the answer would be: the individual. The existing co-dependence between an individual and the society is therefore very important. From the point of view of the individual, his every behaviour and action is determined by society. The society namely moulds an individual according to its own needs. Through socialization, the society tries to form people, who behave in the anticipated and requested way. One of the main factors of socialization, which has an important impact on the formation and consolidation of a specific social character, is the education system, which preserves and stimulates the ideology of a specific society in a given period. The education system represents the ideological apparatus of capitalism. Capitalism and post-modern societies are consumer societies, since consumerism represents the focal cultural practice. In order for consumerism to function, the society must provide for an adequate personality type and an adequate socialization type. The consumer society socialises individuals by turning them into consumers or pathological narcissists. Narcissism became the dominant psychosocial character of today's society, a collective occurrence that satisfies the needs of a consumer society. School and legislation encourage child-friendly education, which produces pathologic narcissists. This result is favourable and beneficial only for the society as it enables the unhindered functioning of modern consumer capitalism. The society not only harms children, but manages to convince parents that such action is beneficial for children. The education system in addition to producing forced consumers also assures the self-reproduction of classes. The school namely carries out selection in different ways and at the same time manages to convince people that the system is fair. It actually deepens class differences under the guise of equal opportunities. The education system most often refers to the provision of equal opportunities for all children in order to hide its actual intent. This means all children should have equal possibilities for success upon enrolling to school. This is not true, because a child's perception ability and his knowledge upon entering the school to a large extent depend on his social belonging or cultural capital. The education system also forms knowledge, which means that the curriculum is not neutral, objective and equally accessible. These contents are not part of a universal and unified science, but a collection of scientific discoveries and cultural traditions with elements of different ideologies. In addition to the official curriculum the school also has a hidden curriculum, which works to the benefit of the ruling ideology.
