Abstract
Society is based on human participation in society and the individual’s understanding of the same. Discussing the matter of participation in society, this article focuses on the issue of the individual human being, that is – in a philosophical understanding – called Subject. The Subject is integrated in an individual social surrounding. Being able to participate in society means to learn about the society, the social surrounding, and the Subject’s internalised concept of the social surrounding. The confrontation the Subject is forced to deal with, for example by transformations of the social surrounding, is a very complex process that is called mediation. The mediation may be the key to gain a better understanding of what it means to be a Subject, of the society, and of educational processes that need to be mediated by the Subject. Therefore, the right to education means to discuss the Subject’s participation in society as well as the professional mediation in educational settings.

I tried to understand the reasons for this controversial discussion and realised, that they are related to the peoples individual social surrounding and their internalised concept of the social surrounding
The philosophical and educational concept we discussed so far, may enable us to have a closer look to the very complex and individual processes of mediation between social surrounding and internalised concept of the world, that do not allow a clear pattern between macro-level changes and changes in the interviewees lives
Summary
Society is based on human participation in society and the individual’s understanding of the same. This adaption means, in the concept of Subject and Object, to adapt the individual’s concept of the world – shaped by the life in rural areas – to a new social surrounding in an urban area that does not fit to the already existing internalised concept of the world of these people, or vice versa.
