Abstract

"Drastic changes are taking place in what democratic societies teach their young people, but they are changes that have not yet undergone a deep analysis. Thirsty for money, national states and their education systems are discarding without noticing certain skills that are necessary to keep democracy alive" (Nussbaum, 2010).
