Imagine a world where everyone is
uneducated. We would perhaps
never have worn clothes or eaten delicious food. Possibly, we would be
walking around in the forest and climbing mountains, hunting for wild animals
for flesh accompanied by leaves, roots, and fruits. Above all, you would not be
reading this article.
As we can see, education is very
important. It is the most important thing in this world. Education is an
ongoing process as we call it. What we learn during our childhood stays with us
all life, even if we forget complicated lessons taught in schools and colleges.
Skills that we learn during our life can actually help us to stay alive. This
can be anything simple from sewing a button on our dress or taking medicines
for illness.
Nowadays, many people say that education
and wealth are closely linked. This is not entirely true. Education does not
merely mean a good degree of some great university. Education actually means
how we see and perceive things. Above that, education also means how we respond
or react to situations. Education from schools and colleges is important because
it helps us how to live in a civilized society and respect one another. It
shows us how to obey laws of the society and laws of the land we dwell.
Education is very important because it
also helps us become rich. It teaches us how to recognize and utilize our
skills and use them for a job or business. These skills can be used for
betterment of the society, our country, and the entire world. In fact, every
innovation, invention, and discovery made by mankind was due to education.
The importance of education can also be
understood from the fact that education decides the behavior of humans towards
animals. In a civilized and well-educated society, all animals are treated
humanely. They are cared for and fed. If needed, educated people give medicines
for animals too. In sharp contrast, uncivilized societies sometimes show lesser
respect to animals.
Nowadays, education is important because
there are thousands of things around us that are made with modern technology.
We require education to use these modern gadgets and get the best benefits of
technology. Education also teaches us how to respect other human beings. It is
because of education that every country has laws that tell people what can be
done and what should be avoided.
