indoctrination, education...

To indoctrinate means the same thing as to educate in literal meaning but indoctrination has a behind meaning that is the closest in meaning with brainwashing people with another, mostly false, information. It differs with education because education is really far from brainwashing people. To education is seeking for facts and truths, and what is not. While indoctrination is influencing people to believe in facts that are backed up only with opinions. That's what the internet had to say about the difference between indoctrination and education. Yes I do agree with this idea and indoctrination is bad. Hitler used it to make people believe that Jew is a race with pseudo-scientific research. The whole Germany became racists and the whole concentration camp and ghetto shit came to existence. Indoctrination is meaningless if someone is looking for truths and facts. 
Child taught to obey or conform... Is it really that important? Humans are made to break the rules and change them to make the world better or worse. The nature of human being is that they can never absolutely follow the rule or law. We always strive for comfort and break the rules. The reason why the rules are made was to bring comfort and order in the society. People should learn to follow these rules so that the society will remain peaceful. But has the world been ever at peace? Numbers, numbers, numbers... These are the things that brought idea of order and chaos. Some, people like Niccolo Machiavelli or other Chinese philosophers that I know in Korean but do not know how English says it, says that laws set by humans must always be absolutely processed even using brute force if necessary. This is called the blind obedience. Anything human made is imperfect and law and constitutions are also made by humans which is not perfect as well. That means that at least one of the laws will create chaos that they never meant to create or some people will find a way around it. Obedience is necessary only if it's reasonable and tolerable to society. Following the law unquestioningly will always cause problems. The same goes for those Nazi soldiers and supporters. Following the rule blindingly like a goddamn machine... They have no heart they have no mercy for Jewish life... If they were humans, they should at least think once in their life the value of every life on Earth. The rule tells them to kill and they kill. How pathetic and despicable.
