Education Definition Essay
What's Education?
According to the Webster's dictionary, education is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge. But for what purpose? Education is the key to having a strong economy and a great nation. Education is the key to success through all endeavors. Whether it is driving a car or typing on the computer, you need some sort of education to get you through everyday life. I believe that education means being taught and prepared for the future, it is a necessity for preserving a good society, and it is a never-ending cycle that lasts until the day you die.
Education is a necessity in today's world in order to be successful. Education is started at birth. As soon as you are born, you start the process of education. This process runs the rest of your life. You go to school to prepare for the future, and education provides the support for your family and yourself. Companies today are mostly looking for employees with a college education, and without it, you can't get a great job, and you won't be able to support yourself that well, let alone a family. Without education it is well known that you will work harder earning less money, than you would work at a desk earning more. It seems to me that most people with college, and/or high school education are working in offices, and people with a low level of education are doing more tedious manual labor type of jobs an not getting paid as much.
Education is what runs this country. Our country is built on knowledge and education. All of the world's richest countries in the world, like the United States, Japan, and Germany all have literacy rates of 99.9%, where some of the poorer countries such as Bangladesh, and Ethiopia have a literacy rate of less than 45%. Some people may say that the money is the reason for the bad education, but I believe that it shouldn't be that hard to give some of the people of the poorer countries a better
