Upbringing from the statistical perspective – circulating of information in science and culture

Abstract
Everything that constitutes culture, including jokes, pop songs, recipes, religious beliefs and scientific theories, is a mem. School is a place where we try to support memes which we recognize as important but there is no some specific superior social environment which has the monopoly of key memes delivery. The fact that it is impossible to determine conditions in which we get the largest influence means that we cannot predict the significance of particular actions. Restricted or sometimes even non-recurring influence on somebody may often be crucial in the process of shaping one’s meme. Single, short contact with somebody who represents in a given area a very attractive meme decides about one’s interest. If a minor effect may have a serious educational consequences than the unpredictability in this field should make us accept responsibility rather than reject it.
