THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATION

Nowadays, the education basically follows an indoctrination model, where the students are educated like sheeps. You must think all people think, you must do all people do; but you do not have to think yourself about if this whole world would be better, and if you can achieve it. The education’s structure does not allowed you choose your way, it can help you and create a relationship that makes people intelligent, with attitude and independent for common comfort.

For one hand, the advance in technology is impressive. In our countries, everybody has access to Internet, and it is something very rooted in our society, and more in young people like us. Now, you can find a lot of people for all the matters you want or you need, matters of science, medicine, literature or simply a song or a movie. But, have the access to Internet does not mean that you know how use it properly. You must know how evaluate, interpret and understand it, and with this information, you can create your own information based on the principal information.

For second hand, the education is not free, it costs so much, but it necessary to think on the humanity’s future. It does not cost only money, but also effort, sacrifice and attitude. Teaching general aims and fundamental, preserve and transmit the knowledge, culture and values from one generation to the next, preparing to integrate into society, as is understood in every moment who decide on how to be future society. It builds people creative and independent, people able to appreciate the cultural achievements of the past and to improve it.

To finish, although the education wants to create people as those, the way that it follows is not the correct. The students go to the school, high school and university, they study general culture, and they specialize on any degree, and learn everything that a common person must to know. But, are they learning actually? Or are they memorizing things without understanding? The education is a poor model, because the students are not learning, they do not understand anything, they only memorize, and when they do an exam, all of this information disappears of their mind. And with this method of teaching, we cannot create people able to get over the problems, and do not the same mistakes every time.

Definitely, we are making a worse education, a worse world and worse people. Everything was done by our ancestors, the war for the education, the war for the rights and the independence; it is being wasted by us. We have to think more about how wonderful it is to have a good education and know make the most of it.
