How brain based education used with sociology?

Answer 1

Brain-based education and sociology are an integral part of the brain from infancy onward. It is a higher-level human species survival tool, and develops concurrently in the brain occur as students are educated in a public or private environment that mimics the mechanics, social mores, and environments that are intertwined in the society children are raised in. The left-brain is building its large storage of analytical information, with its language-based Broca's and Wernicke's areas developing. In the right brain, creative, intuitive, artistic, and intrinsic abilities develop, although to a lesser extent, in Westernized educational programs. These programs place less value on a fully developed right brain, as the programs rely heavily on rote memorization, acquisition of reading and writing skills which leads to demands on the left-brain's verbalization, language and expression abilities as a means to exhibit what has been learned. Around age 7 to 11, the billions of fibers that make up the corpus callosum, which connects the left and right hemispheres, begin linking action with reaction, and thus as consequences are applied to both acceptable and unacceptable behaviors, social skills are acquired and finessed.

Much like in the toddler years, the adolescent years are a time to shear unused brain connections and strengthen the myelination of those connections that have formed within, between, and among the brain systems. Rewarded behavior is repeated, and unrewarded behavior that is not, once this cycle is in place, brain plasticity may be reduced or lost, unless it is stressed by societal factors that encourage a lifelong love of learning. This prevents the ultimate shearing away of unused connections, and enables the brain to retain some plasticity, beyond the fourth decade. The frontal cortex, responsible for executive functions, such as reasoning, organizing, and analyzing, can be stimulating through the acquisition and application of new skills. Learned socialization is required to access and navigate new opportunities, which again leads back to the importance of brain-based education on sociology.

Answer 2

Brain-based education can be used in sociology by understanding how the brain processes information and how this influences learning and behavior in social settings. By incorporating cognitive neuroscience findings into teaching and designing educational programs, educators can better cater to individual learning styles and optimize student engagement and retention. Understanding the brain's role in social interaction can also provide insight into how individuals perceive and respond to social norms, cultural practices, and group dynamics in society.
