Seeking Stillness By Mary Pipher

Moreover, our textbook.Writing to change the world, contains lots of information about the meaning of being educated. The author, Mary Pipher, expressed a lot of about the changing agents and changing writers. In the book, Pipher explains that a successful writer could use their writing to the change others. Also, independent thinking is important for the changing writers, and they should always stand at most clearly side because people need them. In the book, Pipher said, ”we can extend the circle of caring to plants and animals, to rivers and oceans and coral reefs”(Pipher). This a quote from the chapter,” Seeking stillness.” Pipher talked about the changing writer should care everything happened in our society, and change writers need to have a clear mind. I think, being clear most of things is a requirement for the educated people. Since they know more knowledge, they should use
their knowledge to help others, and other the meaning for they studying is keep our society to become betters with their knowledge. Therefore, they should always have clear minds, and they could use their idea to change help us. Although many advantages about being educated, there is some drawback of being educated.
I think the most important fact is the path to become educational is very difficult. In the video,”how education can stop intelligence with Robert Greene,” Robert talks about the education system makes children lose their intelligence. In the video, he said that “when people get to nineteen twenty years old, they lost touch with who they are”(Robert). Since many people do not attend to college in the past, the average ages of their last time to open a book is eighteen. Also, in their high school, they were the tool of doing homework. As a result, lots of us lost the intelligence. In my opinion, I strongly agree with Robert. In my life, I saw lots of the people in PCC work hard. However, besides attending the school, they do not have their own life. When they were free, they stared at the computer. I think they lost they're interested in other stuff. Therefore, during the path of being educated, we lost the personal intelligence. The meaning of being educated could be the lost
intelligence. In conclusion, there are many advantages being educated. Educational people have better opportunities of earning a lot, they could inspire others, and they could change the world with their knowledge. Also, losing intelligence could be a drawback for being educated. In my opinion, education is important for the human being. Since we used our knowledge a lot in our life, we should learning every day. In the same time, we should keep our ability to find and building new stuff.
