The Importance of Education in Our Society
In our culture today, there is a huge emphasis on education, especially higher education. Society basically says the more educated you are, the better off you are. That is pretty much true if you live by the means of society. The basic idea that education, especially a college education, is something that people should pursue even into their adult years is not by any means a new idea.
Every society has specialized individuals who fulfill certain positions that require extended education. In some cases, these people are known as shamans, priests, or professors, or they may be doctors, mechanics, blacksmiths, or artists. In all these

When we are taught to be just the opposite and these individuals are doing exactly what they thought they were not and conforming to the rest of society in their place. Maybe that is why after they go out and get their hair done or buy a funky new shirt they still feel like something is missing and start to feel guilty that they have not done enough. But as Danielle Crittenden said guilt is the shortest-lived emotion, because we are told to feel this way. It is in my opinion to validate my education that my child receives the best education the government and myself can give him. These things still make me wonder why do I really need

Many in the field of education do not tend to realize that the schools want to have a greater advancement in the classroom with technology not only due to the students now, but so they can stay ahead of the curve and be ready for the next part of this curveball that science has thrown at us. No one would have thought that we would be where we are at today in education. 15 years ago students were still taking accelerated reader tests off of computers that used dial up for the internet.

The arts are enjoyable classes that are necessary for a successful education. Benedict J.

Education and dialects coincide with one another like pieces of a puzzle.
