Education

Why is education so important? Education broadens your mind and thoughts to a higher level. I love learning new things because the more the merrier! "The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not," stated from Mr. James Baldwin. In the essay "A talk to Teachers", Mr.Baldwin stated that a man is a social animal that cannot exist without society. At first, I was confused as to what he was trying to say until I was able to comprehend what he meant. From Mr.Baldwin statement, my assumption was education or knowledge determines our future and with that being said a person must share their knowledge because no man is promised to live forever. It's better to educate others of the unknown rather then hindering them from reality and the truth.
