New Age Education

I need a brief understanding of the following so that I may complete my assignment.

Why do you suppose “new age” theories of adult learning continue to evolve? What explains the rise of the critical, postmodern, and feminist perspectives? What was missing in the previous theories? What are newer theories adding to the field of adult learning? How do these alternative perspectives relate to contemporary phenomena (e.g., globalization or technology)? What insights can be gained about adult learning from these theories?
