This analysis really resonated with me since I work in (online) education and my educational background blends business and sociology. I found it powerful and persuasive- and an opportunity to revisit ideas I’ve been too busy to ponder. Your point about institutions not just serving individuals, but shaping them is something I’ve long admired in the missions of some HBCU’s: „They shape our expectations, our aspirations, and even our sense of who we are. They teach us what to value, how to behave, and what kinds of lives are possible.“
