LEARNER ETHICS-3

 LEARNER ETHICS-3        [ A silent process of shaping].

While ethics is a prime requisite for true progression, a certain level of responsibility in shaping it [ethics] rests with the teacher[s].

Yes, most items of human life are derived by inheritance or by imbibing it. Quite a few components of human life, like, speech, writing and ‘presentation’ are somewhat influenced by persons who have occasions of interaction with such recipients.

Those who modify the functional components in a person are glorified as ‘role models’. What have these ‘role models’ to do with a person’s transformation cannot be just paraphrased in words, because there is always a deep undercurrent of ‘willing submission’ by all those influenced by the ‘role model’.

Why do I name it a ‘willing submission’?

The donor-recipient relationship is a prerequisite for locating a role model per se.

Interestingly, a kind of infection happens before the recipient submits self –as to be a decided replica of his/her mentor.

 I have a penchant for the term ‘infection’.  Without looking arrogant, let me explain the situation. If one goes by its medical implication “infection” can be of a range from causing fear to one of fearing death [mortal fear]. Be that as it may, for every infection to occur -2 persons  [a donor and a recipient] should come within the range of infection – a physical proximity [medical situation].

Likewise a Learner- Teacher relationship requires proximity of mind [mental proximity] to keenly follow every syllable of interaction. What politely foists this mental proximity is an item of intense study to decipher the connection.

It is easy to conceive of it as 2 minds striking the same wavelength –an easy explanation without explaining it.  In plain terms, the learner quickly grasps the suggestion; i.e, the way a teacher puts an idea across , keeps the recipient comfortable , even as [s]he receives the message.  

So, the level of comfort that a recipient realizes during a session of learning makes him or her to willingly submit self to that teacher to the point of making the latter –‘a role model’. This is the beginning of infection.

Also, infections are never felt ‘during infection’ but are understood from the effect. But, role models are not role models to all; different role models to different recipients can emerge purely from ‘striking the most appropriate wave length’. It is the beauty of the mind game.
