This term refers to teaching a specific set of beliefs or doctrines to young people, often through education systems. It's a way for societies or groups to perpetuate their values and ideologies.
Indoctrinating the youth is like planting seeds in a garden. The seeds (young people) are planted in soil (society), watered and nourished with certain nutrients (beliefs and ideologies), so they grow into plants that reflect those same characteristics.
Education Reform: Changes in public education that aim to improve it, often by changing policies, curricula, teaching methods, etc.
Brainwashing: The process of pressuring someone into adopting radically different beliefs by using systematic and often forcible means.
Socialization: The lifelong process of inheriting and disseminating norms, customs, values and ideologies, providing an individual with the skills and habits necessary for participating within their own society.
