Education allows people to learn more about themselves, and therefore, learn more about each other. Really, the only thing that makes sense in life is to strive for greater collective enlightenment. Plato shows how people become content with life’s delusions when they are not constantly seeking the truth and how experiencing new things will expand their mind to new thoughts and ideas that they were previously blind to. Frederick Douglass shows how humans can use the lack of education to keep others in the dark and only through education can those people break free. Thomas Newman presents the idea that once you are educated, you shouldn’t be satisfied and you should continue to seek out new forms of knowledge. These three author’s ideas collectively…

Education teaches people how to think, and ultimately, freedom over their own mind. When we allow ourselves to look beyond our egocentric view and into other points of view, we are able to open our minds to more information and truly take control of our thoughts. Therefore, we can choose to care about others and make a real and meaningful difference in the world. With this freedom in thinking that we will gain, we will be able to form our own opinions, which will differ, while…
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet – Aristotle. Education is the wise, hopeful and respectful development of learning undertaken in the belief that everyone should have the chance to share in life. When you think of education, you think of places like schools or colleges that teach and tutor students in order to prepare them for the future. We notice that education is a concept almost everyone would agree is a universal good, also one that is plagued by seemingly endless controversy because education is said to be a powerful opportunity that you can either build from, or destroy all at once, it’s your choice. Education is built upon years of hard work, surpassing the all difficulties along the way. When in doubt you…
Nelson Mandela said: ‘Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’ But what if the education that has been given in schools is limited and it is not enough to train students to “change the world”. Even though we live in a world that proclaims education and educators are the basis of the society, the reality is different. Education and especially public education is in dangerous and as future teachers it is vital to know about the war we are fighting.…

The Greek word ‘pedagogy’ is sometimes used for education which means ‘to discipline’, ‘to control’, ‘to instruct’ and ‘to teach’. According to John Dewey – “Education is the process of living through a continuous reconstruction of experiences” while Indira Gandhi had it that “Education is a liberating force and in our age, it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances” but I have grown to understand Education as a continuous and lifelong process. It starts from the womb of the mother and continues till death. It is the process of development from infancy to maturity. It includes the effect of everything which influences human personality.…
According to the Nelson Mandela “Education is the most powerful weapon through which we can change the world” and I have full faith on this because we have seen many persons whose lives changed because of education and one such as person was ‘Dr. Bhem Rao Ambekar’. He was the chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee of India. He earned 16 degrees and did his Doctorate Degrees in Economics from Columbia University as well as London School of Economics. He has been a great motivation and inspiration and a role model in my life that learning is an endless process and it depends upon the person that how much knowledge one wants to acquire in life. Therefore, I think that a person should enhance their knowledge as much…
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can you use to change the world” by Nelson Mandela. This quotation somehow proves that education is really the most powerful weapon that each and every one of us can acquire. Education is equated with schooling and a change for the better. It is viewed as a process with children undergo for certain periods in their life span to prepare them for life itself. These views refer to formal education which will equip an individual with the necessary knowledge and information and skills that he can use as an advantage to meet his needs in the future.…

Nobody can deny the hard fact that education is an extremely important factor for bringing change in the lives of individuals. It has universally been re-cognized as the most powerful instrument for gearing up the socio-economic development of the nation.…
Life is a struggle, sometimes you have to lose something in order to get something, but it's always your choice to consider what you want or need the most. If education improves people's life style and social environment, it also affects our lives in an undesirable way. I know education is essential in almost every aspect of our lives, but do we really want it to entirely take our place? That is, should we give priority to education only and put everything else behind? People see education from different aspects, but one thing about education that everyone agrees on is that it has done so much, socially and politically, for us. Considering all the improvements and differences that education has made, we are unable to see what it has done to us. Today we see education simply as academic success but that's not all there is about education. Being yourself, valuing your culture and identity, and remaining in family are the key issues that we should consider when thinking of getting education. The more we are trying hard to achieve academic success, the more we are starting to grow apart from our love ones and it is changing everyone in certain way. According to Jimmy Santiago Baca in, "Working in The Dark," "Only by action, by moving out into the world and confronting and challenging the obstacles, could one learn anything worth knowing." Usually we have to go out in the world in order to get education and even face lots of problems, but don't you think sometimes it becomes dilemma for us that we have to chose education over our family or family over education, because there are so few people who get education by not going to school. I am aware of the fact that not all the people have to suffer through these things because who doesn't want to get education and still remain in culture and family? But it doesn't always happen this way. Things change, people change. The way we live and where we live does affect us in some way. Sometimes you need to go far away from…
