Pious children of today are no longer taught to prevent trouble but to become aware of their own skills and to turn into a vibrant and aspiring labor power. Early on in life, achievements are registered, abilities are evaluated and characters assessed. Copying is forbidden, group exams are inappropriate, age and educational levels are kept separate from each other. The individuals’ performance is all that matters, personalized support is the path to success. What is learned is to commit with heart and soul. Those who do not feel fulfillment in work have not found it yet. For those who do so, the question of meaning seems resolved. But the subtle difference between devotion and submission cannot be answered with the question of faith, it lies in the distinction between those who are entitled and those who are not. And yet, it is precisely in the refusal of such division where devotion can be newly drawn. It happens in the moment when Huey, Dewey and Louie wear hats of the same color, when Gaston camouflages his sun lounger as a briefcase or when Harry makes friends with Dobby. Welcome!
