Question

The act of repeating a message and explaining it in greater depth is _____

Answer 1

Answer:

catechesis

Explanation:

catechesis is often used in studying an abstract concept that has a lot of room for elaboration, such as religion, literature or philosophy.

For example, Let's say that in your philosophy class  you're studying the message from mahatma Gandhi. Specifically, this particular message:

Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever.

After repeating this message, the teacher then try to examine word by word, the depth of this message in order to have better understanding on what this message is about.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow, could be interpreted that you need to keep pursuing your goals every second in your life rather than wasting your life doing something unproductive (this is what people who will die the next day would've done)

Learn as if you were to live forever, could be interpreted that there are no such thing as too old to learn new things. You should always accumulate new knowledge everyday until the day you die.
