I would argue that it is education that has been one of the
cornerstones of the base of human society for 5,000 years.
Overall, expertise, experience, and skills from older generations to
younger generations can be defined as the process of transfer,
although it includes much more. Education has always been
something more important than knowledge transfer, starting
maybe with paleolithic art on cave walls and ending up with today's
highly technical online services. I believe that education brings
people together to integrate them into a single society around the
world, sharing the same ideals, the same culture, awareness and
aspirations.
This is possibly why people who fail to accept global norms are
regarded as outcasts and marginals. Despite our professed
empathy, we seldom take members of mindsets that differ from the
majority seriously. With all due regard for an individual's right to
believe in whatever he or she wishes, students learn in schools
and colleges that Earth is a globe and that the Universe is
approximately 14 billion years old. They discover that all living
beings on the planet today originated from more primitive
ancestors, and that this process is still ongoing. They discover that
the sky is not strong nor do holy spirits occupy it.
One of the reasons why education is important is that it allows
a person to become a part of a global community of educated
people who share common values and beliefs. If two people from
entirely different cultures meet and have the same level of
education, they would be able to communicate with one another—
not in terms of language, but in terms of outlook. They would have
similar ideas on how the world works, which is one of the
foundations of communication. Education is, in certain ways, a
gateway to the modern world and all of its possibilities.
Claims that education has a direct impact on one's quality of life
are not false. Education has the potential to do much more: it has
the potential to save lives. There are some surprising figures for
poorer countries that indicate a connection between maternal
education and the chances of survival of their newborn children.
We generally think of education's benefits in terms of a career:
it's real that trained people are more likely to get well-paying jobs
and improve the specific skills they'll need in the future. However, it
is significant not just for that purpose. Education serves as a link
between generations and ensures a society's cultural and
intellectual continuity. Previous generations pass on their
experience to younger generations. This is used by the latter to
establish new insights and move it on. The loop continues
[Link] is about socialization and acculturation of the
new world's rules and regulations. It is, in general, a doorway to
opportunities that each person can open for themselves.
