Tensions and dilemmas in adult education

Abstract

In a society based on rationality "modern" in the adult education wanted to achieve social emancipation, we have evolved into a society legitimized by a new rationality in which adult education becomes a commodity service the new global market and new postmodern cultural values??. Obviously, these changes have the appearance of "new discourse" that deal with the concept of adult education as synonymous with other concepts and a more pragmatic purpose of solving the problems of the present world. Learning means to efficiently respond to the rapid and changing market needs. Education becomes lifelong learning and the workplace acts as a learning organization.
