2. EDUCATION
I have recently come to the realization that I need to do more in
my life and to do more for others around me and most
importantly be able to succeed in any particular area that I wish
to, I especially must take my education more seriously. With
this realization, I have come to appreciate the fact that
education is the foundation of the society as it is the way
through which the society attains prosperity, be it socially or
economically. Arrived at byways through which knowledge sets
up a better platform through which culture and values are
passed on and developed and at the same time the society can
articulate issues surrounding it and come up with possible
solutions. It is the by way of education that communities attain
advancement. The most probable advancements that I have come
to discover that any society can accomplish are: the
improvements that come about with the attainment of the ability
to be an independent thinker and make independent decisions.
The advancements that comes about as a result of the improved
positions that can be attained through education. (Rihani,M. A.
2006). The ability to overcome the existing and emerging
superstitions within a society and finally, the attainment of a
broad exposure, the result of which is the evolution of the
society as a whole.
It is widely known that to make practical decision in any
situation various things come into play. But to arrive at a

3. quality decision when faced with numerous other solutions then
the key to be effective are efficient and quality decision is
education (Vila, L. E. 2000). Due to the fact of education that
plays a very critical role in decision-making processes. For the
one aspect that ensures one can think logically and ensures that
one can put an adequate plan before making any move that may
prove to be erratic. A person who is knowledgeable and learns
to find it easy to both plan and arrive at an informed decision
and to attain this, education is the engine through which one can
manage and eliminate the influences within their surrounding.
That could prevent his or her to make a decision independent of
other influences as they can comprehend biased and unbiased
influences.
Furthermore, for one to attain a prestigious position within the
society a person can only achieve these through education. In
essence, an individual is looked at by the society more
prestigiously if they have attained or exhibits a higher level of
knowledge and understanding. For instance, it is more likely
that an uneducated person will be looked down upon by the
society and can eventually turn around this outlook by
becoming literate. In essence gives a much clearer example on
how the society can be elevated to a more satisfactory segment
of an entire nation through attaining a desirable level of
education.
In fact, lack of knowledge that has enabled the percolation of
superstitions in the very nature of our societies today. The lack
of knowledge binds the society to these beliefs that lack the
backing of science. By attaining even the most basic level of
education ensures that the society and individuals within it can
access, analyze and even question the basis of such beliefs,
eventually remove the veil of blindness that prevents one from
seeing the actual picture before them. In respect, it’s clear that
attaining education helps the society overcome the most
barbaric practices such as looking down on a person and the
disadvantaged.
For example, individuals in today’s society have been forced by

4. the aspect of the world becoming one large village to learn to be
tolerant of each other. There is no better way to be able to
appreciate and practice tolerance than through the use of
education ( Schuller, T., Hammond, C., Preston, J., Brassett-
Grundy, A., & Bynner, J. 2004). For it is through the various
educational platforms that individuals within the society attain
better knowledge on the numerous differences in cultures and
traditions across the world. Easing the understanding and
comprehension of these differences, creates exposures that
ensure the elimination of sheer ignorance, ease of travel and
also better work environment in a diverse workplace. In
essence, the society as a whole can evolve, advance
technologically and develop a better focus for the future and
even be able to understand the changing global phenomenon
through the developed capacities that are only attainable
through education.
Education has brought numerous advancements in our society
today, through the maturing of independent thinkers. The
improvement of individual member’s societal status, and
elimination of the chances of the existing and emerging
superstitious thoughts impact on the ability of the society to
soldier on, creating and increasingly exposed community that is
able to evolve and modernize. It is clear that education has been
able to ensure that the way to which individuals within the
social set up and the society itself is and has been able to reach
its economic and social wellbeing.
