Education and state

The education system of any country is a reflection of its existing political system. The institution of education is closely related to the state. The type of education being imparted depends on the nature of the government or political party because each brings to the forefront its own agenda which it plans to implement. For instance, a government revolving around a single person i.e. dictator or a monarch will implement a particular education system to suit his needs. The motto of his education system will be ‘self-sacrifice, discipline and duty. The ultimate aim of his education system will be to strengthen his own position and elevate his status. Educational institutions will be a mere tool in the hands of such a government. The curriculum will be designed to suit his needs. Teachers, themselves will be dictated by their authorities. Textbooks will be redesigned accordingly. Attempts would be made to crush initiative, criticism and creativity. In short, everything will serve h

Intro to education

 Man is Gods’ highest creation. He has been made superior to animals on account of his intelligence. Hence, his life is sophisticated comprising of various needs. The primary needs of man are three- food, clothing and shelter. However, with the advancement of civilization, these needs have increased to include health, entertainment and education as well.

An artist who has shown his talents is intelligent. A knowledgeable person is intelligent. Similarly, a trickster is also perceived as intelligent. But what exactly does it mean? Intelligence, according to me, is a ‘way of acting.’ It is such an act that makes you move closer to your goal. It’s a way of thinking or behaving in such a way that makes you succeed. So, when you are intelligent, you act smartly. A smart person stands out among the crowd. He is prominent because he thinks and gets better results.

The Thinking Mind

                                                        The Thinking Mind  “Successful people have the habit of doing things that the failed don’t like to do. Not because they like it, but because they have a purpose.” Count to ten before you respond. The very act of stopping to think improves the quality of ultimate response. It is a quality of wealthy people. Reason Our immediate response (without thinking) is habitual and habits may be detrimental to our success. So it is important to take a pause before deciding. This space should be filled by thinking- pondering over the circumstances, reasons and consequences. This is called good thinking. Good thinking must be learned and practiced. It is called hard work. Good thinking is further divided into slow thinking and fast thinking. Both are necessary. Both have their right times. Slow thinking is when you take time to think things through. Fast thinking is when you take a decision quickly because you haven’t thought much abo
