What comes to mind in the reading titled the Sociology of Adult Education:Rubenson, is the fact that educational sociologists have long ignored education outside of the formal setting. In a corporate setting I have found many people who learn on-the-job and have become quite expert without a formal means of learning. But what comes through the reading is the thought that education in a formal setting supports the desire that at the corporate level, our leaders are formally educated. In the summary, it is addressed that formal education plays more a role in keeping the current power structure in place than changing it.
In The Meaning of Adult Education the statement that resonates is - "If education is life, than life is also education".
The Adult Educator and Social Responsibility; Cunningham, once more acknowledges the fact that knowledge in formed through life experiences.
