"Human Worth – A Challenge for School and Society addresses the question of whether all human beings' lives have equal value. To answer, the authors examine how we should understand the value of human life. Human worth and equality are both fundamental principles in education, but there are countless examples of how difficult these concepts can be in actual practice. There is also scant discussion within the school system that touches on our understanding of what human worth in school is. Insofar as school is society's most important vehicle for human learning and development, we view understanding human worth as a challenge our entire society faces.
This book is an anthology in nine chapters about human worth in such typically 'humanity-oriented' school subjects as pedagogics, philosophy, social studies, religion, Norwegian, and arts and crafts. The book provides and introduction to defining human worth from a variety of theoretical perspectives, with examples from school and everyday life. The individual chapters pose questions about dignity, equality, inclusion and exclusion, and the resources human beings engage in meeting challenges.
" - "Menneskeverd – en utfordring for skole og samfunn er boka som tar opp spørsmålet: Er alle mennesker like mye verdt? For å svare på dette må vi se nærmere på hvordan vi kan forstå menneskeverd. Menneskeverd og likeverd sees som grunnleggende for skolen, som er samfunnets viktigste aktør for menneskelig læring og utvikling. Samtidig er det mange eksempler på hvor vanskelig det er å sette begreper som likeverd og menneskeverd ut i praksis. I tillegg er det få debatter i skolen som berører selve forståelsen av hva menneskeverd er i skolen. Dette er oppsiktsvekkende, og vi ser det som en utfordring for skole og samfunn.

Boka er en antologi på ni kapitler om menneskeverd i typiske «menneskefag» i skolen, som pedagogikk, filosofi, samfunnsfag, religion, norsk og kunst- og håndverk. Den gir en innføring i hva menneskeverd kan være både fra ulike teoretiske ståsted, og med eksempler fra skole og samfunnsliv. Kapitlene i boka reiser spørsmål om verdighet, likeverd, innenfor- og utenforskap, og hvilke ressurser mennesket tar i bruk i møte med utfordringer."

Hva lærer ungdomsskoleelever om forholdet mellom religion og vitenskap? Hvordan forholder lærerstudenter seg til spørsmål om kjønn og likestilling? Hva mener nyutdannede lærere er målet med KRLE-faget? Hvordan kan man arbeide med holdningsdanning i møte med religiøst mangfold i faget religion og etikk i videregående skole? Hvordan formidles sentrale verdier i barnehagen? Hva med etikken i grunnopplæringen – i hvilken grad samsvarer de ulike læreplandokumentene på dette feltet? Religion og etikk i skole og barnehage henvender seg til dem som arbeider i skole og barnehage så vel som de som er engasjert i profesjonsutdanningene."

A personal account of the absurd life in the German Democratic Republic (DDR) between the years of 1966 and 1989. Young people were socialized in the strict system from birth. In kindergarten they were forced to sleep in a certain position and they were only allowed to draw pictures their teachers told them to - no deviation was allowed. In 1980 the DDR-critical teachers were replaced with ideologues to raise the youth in the spirit of real socialism. Because the author's grandfather was an entrepreneur, she was originally not allowed to enter high school and graduating from the university system was impossible without party membership. Eventually the popular opinion defeated DDR's strict controls, culminating with the fall of the Berlin Wall. L. Pitkaniemi
