    Plato's Cave on Ignorance

    Freeing from the psychological prison we create by continuously depending on what we see and understand to be true realities can be achieved in learning and logical reasoning. “Will he not fancy that the shadows which he formerly saw are truer than the objects which are now shown to him?” (Socrates 19). Demonstrated in this quote, is the beginning stage of acceptance and awareness; hesitation. This growing open-minded approach to unfamiliar situations is required in order to leave behind our old and ignorant ways. Socrates suggests to the reader that preparation for the real world and a need to pursue truths through the use of education will serve as guidance down more desirable life paths. He also introduces the idea of the immense responsibility those who have been fortunate enough to access higher education have to provide leadership and improvement in society. But, with the power of wisdom, comes ridicule and seclusion due to the ignorance prevalent in a population that prefers to live with their minds trapped inside the cave.…

    Educational Reform

    The United States has an extensive educational system that has been charged with accommodating the needs of an extensively diverse student population. U.S. educational institutions exist at all learning levels, from preschools for early childhood education to secondary education for youths, and post secondary education for both young and older adults. Education in the United States can be commended for the many goals it aspires to accomplish—promoting democracy, assimilation, nationalism, equality of opportunity, and personal development. However, because Americans have historically insisted that schools work toward these frequently conflicting goals, education has often found itself at the center of social conflict and the hot topic of political campaigns, mostly to no avail (Goldin and Katz, 2001). While schools are expected to achieve many social objectives, education in America is neither centrally administered nor supported directly by the federal government, unlike education in other industrialized countries. This system of decentralization has created a system of inequality in education that persists. The current system has created inequalities that have culminated into a generation of students that are not adequately prepared to meet the demands of a global workforce. Moreover, students in the current U.S. educational system are unmotivated and resistant to change due to irrelevant legislation and an overwhelmed system. The inequalities and inconsistencies have spawned many debates in the U.S. as the nation joins the global community (Goldin et.…

    The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet – Aristotle. Education is the wise, hopeful and respectful development of learning undertaken in the belief that everyone should have the chance to share in life. When you think of education, you think of places like schools or colleges that teach and tutor students in order to prepare them for the future. We notice that education is a concept almost everyone would agree is a universal good, also one that is plagued by seemingly endless controversy because education is said to be a powerful opportunity that you can either build from, or destroy all at once, it’s your choice. Education is built upon years of hard work, surpassing the all difficulties along the way. When in doubt you…

    Examinations should be abolished. When examinations are abolished, it means that it should be ridden of. Ever since our primary education started, we were all studying for examinations every year. The education system set by the Singapore government stated that examinations are a good way to test a student’s capability of a subject. The examinations’ purposes are to also allow teachers to know where each student’s individual standards, and letting them to be able to differentiate each student’s abilities and talents. It is also a common universal yardstick used around the world, since a long time ago. But, is it an accurate method?
