Hen Precedes Egg, Mother Precedes Infant
While the hen and the mother precedes in time the egg and the infant, the egg and the infant are the means for changing the natures of future hens and future mothers.
A human impulse such as fear can result in a sadistic act, or altruism, or despair, or hope all depending upon the social environment and the preformed habits of the individual. A wo/man may fear or revere the spirit of ancestors; they may fear or revere authority. âThe actual outcome depends upon how the impulse of fear is interwoven with other impulses. This depends in turn on the outlets and inhibitions supplied by the social environment.â
Whether we are speaking of generation X or Y, or the great or the millennial generation, each generation represents renewal with all of its potential and all of its disappointments. The species is constantly being renewed for good or for bad; all this âjust happensâ without conscious intention. Everyone is just trying to get along.
The young new generation makes continuous alteration in the society even though these alterations are unintended, they just kind of follow surreptitiously from accidental happenings. With the dawn of the idea that one can make improvements in society based upon channeling the impulses of the young, new social institutions were born. Education was to become the means for directing the impulses of the young in directions that would slowly modify the present society into more useful modes.
Such is the meaning of education; âfor a truly humane education consists in an intelligent direction of native activities in the light of the possibilities and necessities of the social situation. But for the most part, adults have given training rather than educationâŠThe younger generation has hardly even knocked frankly at the door of adult customs, much less been invited in to rectify through better education the brutalities and inequities established in adult habitâŠEach generation has crept blindly and furtively through such chance gaps as have happened to be left open.â

Chicken or the egg? I might go back one day in time and create them at the same moment. So thus no argument  .

I watched that not long ago, actually about 6 months ago. Funny how the past can creep up on you. It was actually quite inspiring.
