Importance of Education
Today, education is viewed as a vital key to success in life, and knowledge has become every individual’s aim or concern. Each one of us is born in a different medium and of different social and cultural norms; however, most of us approve of education’s positive effects on society. Therefore, ‘Why do we need education?’ and ‘why do we think education is important?’ is the issue to tackle. To get a better grip of this complex theme we have to distinguish three different types of education, there is the formal education, like school, the lifetime education, learning through difficult situations and the education by our parents. To lead a successful country we have to keep it on a standard level of education to be able to impart the cultural heritage to the younger generations. There is again a division to be made between the inherited education or knowledge, and the education taught at school.
With a good education of the younger generation, the government takes care of the progress in the development of the country. But a good education is not just useful for the progress of the country; the aspiration for advancement lies in the nature of every human creature. People wake up every morning with the goal to make new experiences, which enriches their standard of life. Another factor in today’s democratic society is the people’s striving for the latest information. People in our days do actually have the will to know what is going on in the world around them, they want to know what the government needs all the tax money for, they want to understand what a new law is supposed to mean and all this would be impossible without a good formal education.
This is just the approach of an unrestricted person in a democratic country, but we must view it with the eyes of the leader of a dictatorship, like Napoleon in Animal Farm. Under the regime of Napoleon Squealer would not have had a chance of convincing his comrades, if these comrades had
