“Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.” – Will Durant

Education, gives us the key to the future, it allows us to see the world, and comprehend it. Education isn't ordinary, it's an idiosyncratic weapon; even though it's a weapon, it wasn't design to kill. It was designed to allow any human being to change the world and shows them the truth. Put them on a path that gives the user unlimited knowledge but how they obtain it and use it, will all depend on the user. Education allows you to push others so they can see a new future or how to change it and turn it to the best instead of being the worst.

The idea that men were stronger began during the hunting-gathering time, since men mostly went out hunting, while women stayed nearby by the house to care for children and gather plants. Biological factors made women more vulnerable at the time which only added onto the idea that women were less than their male counterparts. Men, considering they were not tied to their homes because of pregnancy, or the duties of a housewife, had more time to gain wealth and property through “pillage and force”, making them known as the more powerful figure in society (Richards and Saba).

What is the most important thing to know about knowledge you are given? The answer is simple, the truth. In the story “By the Waters of Babylon” the main character John is on a quest for knowledge. In his civilization the priests are the wisest and most knowledgeable people. John is the son of a priest and wants to become one himself. John is obsessed with finding more knowledge. John says, “My knowledge made me happy--it was like a fire in my heart” (Benet 312). He dreams of going to on a journey to the The Dead Place, a place that is forbidden for any of his people to go to.

“Men are stronger than women.” Due to the hormone differences between men and women, women have less muscle mass and more fat mass then men, so by default men are just better than women. Women and men also have different genitals, but having their genitals outside of their body men must be superior

There is one thing that is universally sought after in this world, regardless of race, ethnicity, age, location, and upbringing. There is one thing that every single human being hungrily craves. There is one thing that can make the potential difference between a life of abject poverty or comfortable prosperity: knowledge. The human mind’s thirst for knowledge can never be fully quenched, and it is always left wanting more; although, this isn’t necessarily a detrimental thing. Many different and unique styles of education have emerged as an attempt to satisfy the universal desire of knowledge, but it is often debated which style of education is the most effective. There is a very wide range of teaching styles on the spectrum of education,

Jamie Holmes’ article The Case for Teaching Ignorance links with our Honors Summer Assignment in multiple ways. She cites Stuart J. Firestein, the same man who introduced us to the idea of ignorance in his Ted Talk: The Pursuit of Ignorance, and they both came upon this concept when learning that their students were under the false impression that we knew everything we need to know because of the one thousand page textbook. In addition, she also puts an emphasis on the importance of “answers breeding questions” (Holmes 2). Throughout the summer assignment we focused on knowledge generating ignorance and questions, this article forces us to remember this concept and provides us with a new method to understand it. Holmes uses Michael Smithson’s metaphor of an island of knowledge (Holmes 2) to allow us to gain a new perspective on how knowledge and ignorance are connected. Because of this idea, I was able to further understand that it is questions that drive our desire to know more and “grow” the island and its shoreline.

Education allows for people to have both understanding and greater control over their own lives. Lack of knowledge can quickly lead one down the road of fear, frustration, and confusion. Furthermore, the stress over past and future events can cause detrimental effects both mentally and physically. To avoid such pitfalls, one should build a secure foundation of knowledge to enable oneself to preserve a healthy mental and physical state.

Education is the gradual process of meaning making and acquiring “knowledge.” One views the world through his or her own set of lenses or filters, from his or her own perspective, and the mind of the learner attempts to connect new information to existing schema to make new connections. These constructions and connections in the brain become "knowledge." Therefore, knowledge when people begin to understand facts or information through experience and/or learning. We begin to realize, through knowledge, details that we learn in isolation are actually interconnected. Education can be intentional or unintentional and can occur everywhere and at any time. Education is greatly influenced by affective factors and social context. It has both internal and external value, both to a person and to all of society.

There is something powerful about knowledge. Knowledge makes one know things that they did not know before. It helps them gain insight about issues that are seen in the world. It opens up eyes to see things through a different perspective, a perspective that they never thought of or seen without getting a gaining an understanding of that certain type of knowledge. Knowledge helps one make decisions and how to handle certain situations. Knowledge allows one to succeed in school and get acceptable grades, discern what is right and wrong, and leads to wisdom. When knowledge is limited; children and society are being naïve and lazy, people are not able to express the freedom of speech that is possible in this nation, and it ruins countries.

Knowledge helps us discover what are facts, opinions, and happiness, what can be challenged, and what we really want. With this judgment, humans can realize their faults and make-up for their

At present, humanity has vast amounts of knowledge, but still very little wisdom. Buckminster Fuller called this time our final evolutionary exam. Is our species fit to survive? Can we develop the wisdom that will allow us to use our prodigious powers for our own good, and for that of many generations to come? The question then arises: What can we do to facilitate the development of wisdom? This is where the wisdom traditions—the spiritual traditions found throughout human culture—have their value. They are often seen as simply religions, but most of the great religions were seeded by wise people, people who had, in one way or another, awoken to the deeper truths of life and then sought to share their wisdom with

The cave allegory also proves that the role of education is not to teach in the sense of feeding people information they do not have, but rather to shed light on things they already know. Education "isn't the craft of putting sight into the soul. Education takes for granted that sight is there but that it isn't turned the right way or looking where it ought to look, and it tries to redirect it properly." (2)

Once we have the information, it becomes knowledge. Knowledge is when our brains contextualize the information they receive into something meaningful. Education is the result of us conveying of this knowledge from one member of a species to another. It is not only passing on information, but passing on information in a contextualized way that conveys meaning to

Acquiring education is one of the most critical aspects of a person’s life. It should be seen as vital as the air we breathe. The key to a healthy mind and a successful person is learning. “Without education, you’re not going anywhere in this world” is a famous quote by Malcolm X. His quote reiterates that the competitive world makes it essential for us to have a proper education since it will serve as our weapon to conquer the world. Education will help a person grow as an individual because a highly knowledgeable person will have a better grip on handling any problem that comes his or her way. Literacy is the foundation of what we are as individuals. Every decision we make, as well as our thought process, is the basis of what we know.

Every people in this world are all need education. Education is knowledge, education is life, and education is their future. As a necessary thing for all human, so it is very popular and common in all over the world because it is a step for human to get knowledge.
