He earned a degree in psychology from the University of Rangoon and later obtained a Master\u2019s degree (MA) from Columbia University in the United States in 1952. In 1957, he received his PhD from the world-renowned Harvard University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title of Dr. Sein Tu\u2019s doctoral dissertation was \u201cIdeology and Personality in Burmese Society.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a thesis that studies Burmese society from a socio-psychological perspective. It is an exceptionally rare and unique piece of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Burmese are lawless.
They have a tyrannical nature.
They have a mindset of \u201cwhat benefits the tail, the tail eats; what benefits the head, the head eats.\u201d
They have a carefree and casual attitude.
They also act on impulse and pride.
They enjoy entertainment and leisure.
They are affectionate and loving.
They also enjoy gambling.
They are deeply superstitious.
They can be indifferent and negligent.
They lack a sense of responsibility and accountability.
They are childish.
They are also somewhat arrogant.
They find comfort in their own imagined golden thrones.
They enjoy fighting and conflict.
They are quarrelsome.
They are rough and harsh.
They are boastful.
They are often arrogant and tend to act haughtily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus\u2026 I dare not say more, my friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was written by Dr. Sein Tu. In his doctoral dissertation, he vividly described the characteristics of Burmese society in this manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was also a great teacher who practiced adult learning, encouraging self-reliance and self-directed exploration of knowledge, and he taught all his students in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
