Summary/Abstract: Education which is understood as a set of influences on individuals or groups leads to question about authority, which is a system of organized control over the image of the world. Thus, seeing full picture or limiting it shapes the mechanisms of operation of institutions, which are tools for creating future of the world and the man. Teaching or learning process is realized by revealing or covering up certain elements of the observed world. This mechanism of appropriation of individuals along with their world is part of the educational system. The question of whether this mechanism is good or bad is not relevant. This is the im- age of life in the network of institutions which fulfill human needs. However the abuse of those mechanism can resemble ‚cosmetic’ work leading to caricatured images, habits or models of behavior.
