Social History of Armenia; Post-Soviet Value Transformations; Teaching History

My view: (Please briefly describe your view on the three concepts below)

Ideally, education would be geared towards producing socially responsible critical thinkers and problem solvers.
Research is the ability to recognize divergences, gaps and spikes, and then to give reasonable answers to the "why" and "how" questions.
Being good to others does not grant a license to be bad.
