One of the models (or rigamaroles) is fomalized education.
The question asks for knowledge that is generally gleaned via
organized schoolings.
Imho, the question's range is too broad.
Is it a rhetorical or set-up question?
Is the answer a gimmick, such as ...it's "THE BIBLE, while non-
Biblical models, theories, and philosophies are superfulous bilge?
Aha
Are you writing a term paper, and need ideas to consider?
Well, fine, try these boogers:
Hegel: historical determinism: I betcha WIKIPEDIA has an adequate
article explaining the "model."
Marx: economic determinism: I dunno what this exactly means either,
tho I do know a convenient source that explains scientific socialism &
that lists some primary sources at its conclusion to add to the terrif
bibliography.
Behaviorisn: This is the concept or idea of reducing complexity to
math: If you're comfortable in statistics and logical
analyses, then you may be a simplistic rednek behaviorist.
Freudianism: one's mind plus physiology is about expression and
repression of sex. Look it up to see what the id, ego, super-ego are
supposedly.
There are a coupla others but now i'm bored with me also.
