To Question or Not to Question? That Is the Question

What, Why, How, When, Where, these questions are the foundations of human intelligence that stem from the encrypted curiosity and puts us at the top of the food chain. Science has been the result of constantly doubting existing knowledge. The human civilization as we see today is essentially the result of it. In fact, in the 17th century, Rene Descartes popularized a form of methodological skepticism that encourages scrutiny of all knowledge to sort the truth from false. But are we continually doing so?

As children we are exposed to societal stereotypes and boxed thought processes. 'Right', 'Wrong', 'Ugly', 'Beautiful', 'Sin', 'God' 'Good', 'Bad'. We are made to believe by our early educators that these ideologies, these systemic beliefs are to be accepted. It’s how our civilization has grown, assessments and opinions percolated down through generations, so as they have become undisputable. To be a part of this civilization you must be a believer not a rebel. Hence as we grow older our capacity to be curious is drastically reduced. This mental inertia inhibits our ability to question certain aspects as it is deemed by our minds to be an existential truth.

KNOWING THE ANSWERS WILL HELP YOU IN SCHOOL. KNOWING HOW TO QUESTION WILL HELP YOU IN LIFE. - Warren Berger

After all, it is the questions arising from curiosity and imagination that have led to creativity, lateral thinking, and most of all the wonderful inventions of our civilization. The basic things taken for granted today are the answers to the questions that probably arose from inquisitiveness. With the advent of digital technologies, we have the answers even before we can think of the questions. Resulting in the newer generations not being inclined to questioning. When need arises or when questioned, there is a one-stop shop for all the answers, GOOGLE or for that matter any search engine. We are raising a generation of kids who are curious to find answers but have not been tutored to question or to doubt the existing. Learning is not only about listening or reading but also about questioning, imagining, rethinking.

At GuruCool, we believe in tapping into this exact trait in children with our specially curated programs. Our unique programs, like Filmmaking & editing, Stunt action, Puppetry, Drama & storytelling, and STEM courses will help your child not only to gain social and emotional intelligence but also improve problem solving and communication skills. To top it all are the inclusive field trips to film studio and theatre where the children will be able to get a first hand experience and witness real action.
