The Interplay Between Social Harm and Education: Toward Preventing Societal Detriment

Abstract

The Interplay Between Social Harm and Education: Toward Preventing Societal Damages seeks the complex relationship between each other, by supporting the role of education in preventing and reducing societal problems. Social harm includes a wide vision of behaviors and conditions that cause harm to individuals, communities, and as well as to societies. It could manifest in various forms, such as violence, mental health issues, crime, substance abuse, and social exclusion. Or in a simple term, those actions which are considered both illegal and morally disgraceful in society. Education centers help as powerful tools for addressing social harm by developing personal growth, promoting social unity, and empowering individuals to make positive choices, and if we look into the triangle of home, educational institutions, and society as a fundamental component of the teaching and learning process we will discover a dynamic interplay between these three realms that shapes and boosts individual growth and collective knowledge. This study searches through the key and considerably discussed realm of social harm within the disciplines of sociology and education, with a particular focus on the interplay between these two domains. Central to these discussions are inquiries into the meaning and the nature of social harms, the educational objectives aimed at reducing social harm, and the principles, methodologies, as well as educational approaches employed in reducing these societal problems.
