Education

Education What is education' To be specific, www.dictionary.com describes it as, “The act or process of educating or being educated.” I would say this definition is a pretty general one, but another one that the website provides is a little better, “The knowledge or skill obtained or developed by a learning process.” This is exactly what we see as an education today. Sure people can perceive what an education means in many different ways, but education always comes back to what we were taught and what we retained from that teaching. Education is something that everyone in life needs to obtain in order for one to keep a life, without an education one will go through life with no thought process or even a purpose. After all of the definitions and different ways of viewing an education I have to ask myself what the real purpose of having an education is. Before I explain my views I have a few quotes of different views on the purpose of education. “Education: being able to differentiate what you do know and what you don’t.
