For a long time, colleges and universities have dismissed the skill
of learning as mere study skills. But there’s growing interest in giving
students a richer sense of how to gain knowledge. After all, one of the
constants of the modern world is dramatic change. That makes the
ability to acquire new skills crucial, and the faster someone can learn a
new area of expertise, the better they’ll do in college -- and their
career.
Some colleges and universities have been pushing the skill of
learning, and professors at those institutions are encouraged to teach
students not only content and skills but also how to learn.

What makes an influence manipulative and what makes it wrong are the
same thing: the manipulator attempts to get someone to adopt what the
manipulator herself regards as an inappropriate belief, emotion or other mental state. In this way, manipulation resembles lying.

I teach them all the good I can, and recommend them to others from whom I think they will get some moral benefit. And the treasures that the wise men of old have left us in their writings I open and explore with my friends. If we come on any good thing, we extract it, and we set much store on being useful to one another. - Socrates, Memorabilia
