Indoctrination is seen as a bad connotation no matter what contextual meaning it is trying to present. The reason you have your religion is usually because you were taught it young. You may say that you would have picked that religion (let’s say Christianity) later on in life. An outside Perspective from all ties would show you if you were raised in a completely different family and they had a completely different religion and you knew little about the context of any other religion. You would not know much revolving around Christianity.The reality is, that there is an information bubble threshold based on youth that is implanted by your relative distance to specific communities and this cannot be broken by externals such as the internet. The concept is that at youth your ideas and belief structure is heavily based on what you see and hear and the idea of everyone around you believing one thing is so strong in pull you’re not able to designate an active choice. It can be a good thing if you like your religion or it can be a bad thing if you're being manipulated by it. An extreme example would be a kid being raised in Jonestown and knowing nothing else.
Yet, wars have been ended and deals have been made based on religious indoctrination. There are good outcomes to this too, for instance a large portion of Europe’s past is based on indoctrination with catholic agenda. Indoctrination Politics have prospered very good ethical decisions in my opinion based on indoctrination such as freedom of speech and overall traditional values.
There has been a notion pushed forth by the public that schools somehow indoctrinate kids with political agenda, and the public should understand its always been this way. Our founding fathers of our country are mythicized with Apple tree’s. The bad side of Thomas Jefferson is not remembered (https://www.monticello.org/sallyhemings/). The tax put on beer right after our ancestors anger on tax of tea is forgotten(whiskey rebellion).Our country often mystifies its own past in schools and that’s nothing new, it is a problem, but it’s been here. 'If you think that indoctrination is a change you have already been indoctrinated' in a play of words from Ronald.
