Chaos, Complexity, and Education

Simulation theories in social sciences are in interest mostly with human behaviors in societies. Recently we have purposed a simulation theory to complete Baudrillard Simulation Theory. In this theory, “Disorder-Sensitive Human Behaviors (DSHB) Simulation Theory”, chaotic awareness is also considered as a reality principle in simulation world. The zuhur, as an emergence of disordered human behaviors of this reality, is different than simulacra. The complex utopia is a complex autonom system in which both simulacra and zuhur are challenging each other to reconstruct system. In this paper we would like to review the complex utopia. And we shall critique “Arab Spring” in framework of the complex utopia.
