Ø What is Education?
The
proper definition of education is the course of action becoming an educated
person. The human beings who are being an educated person, it means you have right
to use to most advantageous states of brain. I want to describe another
definition of education which is that, Education in its common sense which is a
type of learning in which understanding, skills, and way of life of a group of
people are transferred from one creation to other throughout teaching, training
and follow a line of investigation.
Education
is the social institution which provides the important knowledge to the
society, which including basic facts, job skills and cultural norms values.
The
aim of education is not knowledge but the aim of education is action.
(i)
An educated man
is one whose structure of life as exhibited in his behavior, the actions to
which he is dedicated, his judgments and feelings is thought to be advantageous.
(ii)
Suchlike he is
trained to do he must have knowledge, not just talent, and a sympathetic of
principles. His form of life must also display some mastery of forms of thought
and awareness which are not harnessed with the sole purpose to utilitarian or
vocational purposes or completely restricted to one mode.
(iii)
His knowledge and
understanding must not be not moving either in the common sense that they make
no difference to his general vision of the world, his actions within it and
reactions to it or in the sense that they absorb no concern for the standards
immanent in forms of thought and understanding, as well as the ability to
attain them.
Ø What is Society?
The
term society has been derived from Latin word ‘socious’ that means relationship
or companionship. Thus the society means ‘A large group of persons, who are
associative with each other.’
Linton
was the philosophers he said: Any group of people who have lived and worked
together long enough to get themselves organized and to think of themselves as
a social unit with well defined limits.
Society
is the system of relationship between people, it consist of members, the member
of the society share sense of common identity.
The
members of a society are small like a family and be large like a nation.
The aim of Society and Culture is to build up a student's knowledge,
understanding, skills, standards and attitudes important to achieving social
and cultural literacy by
examining the relations between persons, societies, cultures and environments across time.
All the way
through the study of Society and Culture, students will build up:
Knowledge and understanding about:
ü personal, public
and cultural identity
ü cultures shared
by members of societies
ü interactions of
persons, societies, cultures and environments transversely time
ü stability and
change, personal and social futures and strategies for change
ü the role of
power, authority, gender and technology in societies and cultures
ü The methodologies
of social and cultural research.
Ø Relationship
between Education and society
It
recognizes a strong relationship between the two concepts. Education is seen as
a means of cultural communication from one generation to another in any given
society. Society is defined as the entire variety of social relationships of
people living in a certain geographic region and having a sense of belonging to
the same group.
We
have seen education in particular as a means of cultural communication from one
generation to another. The parents are the first teachers of the child and they
still maintain an educative role throughout the early and influential years of
the child. In the majority of the increasing nations of the world, including
Nigeria, parents are responsible for sending their children or wards to school.
in view of the fact that these nations are undergoing quick socioeconomic and
political changes, they eyewitness special problems in evolving the right
education system, which will be able to generate the tolerable manpower needs
in all the parts of the society.
It is
observed by clarks in 1948 he observed that, A general knowledge and getting of
the ideals and aims of our society is important for all citizens, and it must
be achieved through education. (Observed by clarks 1948).
Another
area of the relationship between education and society is through the collection
of the entire society into a hierarchical order that is, throughout the social arrangement
in which education plays a famous and important role in setting up educated
individuals into social classes.
And also Ottaway observed in 1980 he
said, It is logical to imagine that the
type of education given in each society will change from time to time as the
society changes. (Observed by Ottaway 1980) .
Ø What is Role
Of Education For Society
Education
as an necessary activity in the development of society has seen most important conversions,
from which the innovative methods and models of the current educational system
have resulted. The relationship between the individual and society becomes more
complex via education, as the individual achieves the ability to make his donation
that would balance the profits of his living between other individuals. In this
background, education represents the basis of a society leaning towards the
future, knowledge becomes the main section of the economic and social growth,
and the economic emergency becomes an obstruction in the development of the
knowledge-based society. Therefore, the development of the knowledge based
society is dependent on the creation of knowledge, on its spreading via
education and guidance and on its spreading via messages and on its attachment
in technological modernism.
Education
has played and is still playing an important role in forming and training the
individual throughout his continuation. a number of writers in their works highlight
the importance of education over the time.
Jean-Jacques
Rousseau (1996) came up with a definition of education starting from three
basic sources: nature, humans and objects. The unstructured development of our
organs and competences is education provided by nature. The habitual operation
of these competences is the education broadcasted to us by other humans. The private
experience achieved from the tools and things surrounding us, is the education
provided by objects.
Education is an necessary human good feature, a need of
society, basis of good life and sign of independence. Education is important
for addition of separate creatures.
The
important role of education such as:
ü Education is highly important in today
society.
ü Education is a requirement of society, basis
of good life and sign of freedom.
ü Education plays most important role in every
one life without education persons are nothing.
ü Education prepares a person to adapt to new
skills and value that will be very important in today society.
Education Makes Better Citizens
Man is
nothing but an animal. It is the education that trains him a lot of things,
teaches the etiquettes, rules and system of life etc. All these things effect
in converting man from an animal to well-mannered citizen.
Brings
Confidence
Nothing in the life can be accomplished if we don’t have trust on
ourselves. Education is what brings self-assurance in us. We get the confidence
of doing the things on our own. Our self-assurance then helps us in passing all
the difficulties that come on way to our aim. Education also makes us better in communication with others.
Ensures a
Bright Future
An educated
person lives a happy life always. He/she has a dazzling future that on one can
pull from them. Education wakes the out of sight talent and skills of any
person. This hidden talent and skills give us employment and a totally protected
future. It is the education that helps us in achieving new altitudes in our
life.
Spreads
Awareness
An educated
person tries to understand each and every thing on its own rather than blindly
following anyone else. This results in distribution awareness everywhere. An
educated person does not only decline the mistaken beliefs him/herself, but
also give explanation the genuine reason behind any happening, to others. Thus
education clears out the darkness with the intense light of knowledge.
Educated
Persons Help in Progress of Country
People of any
particular country can live happily only if the country has all the resources,
or basically declare, country is rich in every aspect. Educated persons know attractive
well that what is incorrect and what is correct. They do not need to follow the
words of third person. Educated persons are well aware from their country’s
rules and laws. They know attractive well about their responsibilities and essential
rights. They know the importance of paying taxes, and thus pay their taxes on
time. All these qualities of educated persons help them play a vital role in
the improvement of their country.
So, this was
the list of some profits of education in our life. If there is no education,
then there is no life. All those of you who are reading in good schools and
colleges are without a doubt very lucky. You all have the golden chance to own
the ornament-like study, and to get yourself counted in the list of educated
people.
