The essential role does not have to do primarily with the transmission of knowledge; for there are many texts, tape recordings and video presentations which can transmit information; along with computer assisted instruction. Information can be transmitted through technology more efficiently than through live persons. Students need to learn to be comfortable with both new ideas/ideals and the implications of new ideas/ideals. Technologies are not as effective in helping students to learn how to be comfortable with new ideas, ideals and their implications; as are live human beings whom students feel free to trust. A major responsibility of a teacher/professor is to provide secure contexts in which students see the teacher or professor deal comfortably with new ideas/ideals; and in which the teacher or professor encourages the students to gain confidence in dealing comfortably and without embarrassment with the new ideas and ideals. New ideas and ideals are likely to conflict with old ideas, ideals, and patterns of thought and behavior. Thus for the students to learn how to feel comfortable with new ideas/ideals, the students' teachers and professors need to be able to help the students to participate in effective conflict resolution. Conflict resolution does not have to do with the ascendance of one set of ideas/ideals through domination over another competing set. Conflict resolution has to do with integration of all that is healthy in the old with all that is healthy in the new. People should feel comfortable and free of embarrassment when the conflict resolution is completed; not angry, resentful, mad, revengeful, embarrassed, etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
