How would people have a balanced and thorough education if they simply learned about the things they wanted to?
It's important for people to learn about their own cultural background or issues, however if they were the only ones to learn it how would the rest of the world learn to understand they ways and beliefs. I think its important for everyone to learn about a variety of cultural issues and beliefs in order to be well educated and also a fairly rounded person. The more you know about and learn about the easier it will be, to make new friends, introduce yourself into new surroundings, live an everyday life.
The opportunities to learn about a specific personal preference are endless, therefore if you have a personal interest in something you can pursue it. However this should be aside from formal education.
We live in a multi-enthic society in which it is important to have some understanding into their cultural ways in order for us to progress and avoid conflicts.
The result of a 'education' is tailored to fit into their cultural and personal preferences.................
a society of very ignorant people!!

Emma I completely agree, if people learnt about what they wanted to then the types of people they would become are very narrow minded. I agree with your point about us living in a society of multi-ethnicity. People in society need a knowledge that it's ok for people to believe in different things and have different opinions, if they did not learn about this then they would only believe that what they learnt is correct, and not agree with others points of view

ReplyDeleteYeah Tori, exactly, we'd end up in a very narrow minded world. Not even to mention the impossiblity to teach every individual to accordance of what their beliefs or interests were. You'd almost need a teacher per person!!! Not only would it not fit in to a increasely diverse society of cultures it ould have a huge negative effect on the abilties of individuals in the work place.
