We talked about ethical categories such as goodness, honor, dignity, justice, conscience and others which are inextricably connected to the concept of human rights. We emphasized documents which encode the human right to education. We defined the advantages which education gives to people in modern society. We talked about the reasons why the basis of teaching is coercion, you have to study. About how the desire for / culture of studying can be formed, particularly within ourselves; we paid attention to whether we ourselves feel dignified in the education environment.
