Does mainstream Education really make us better
people?
Education
has an important role for people in general; it has been considered the
idea that
education guides us so to help each one to define themselves. However,
it is overestimated
because people through the education try to fit among the society. Many
people keep that idea that education makes people better, but it is just
an idea and not a fact. That is not to say that education does not help
because it have a huge purpose which is to make people producters of
money. Nevertheless, the part of the humanity is not centered during the
general learning process.
There are different perspectives in which anyone can see if education actually makes us better people, for instance since the profesional perspective; which totally education is more interested on. Another perspective is the humanistic, which there are many theories in which point out that a humanistic education is better. However, those theories are not taken into account and the educational system continue being the same as many years ago.

On one hand, education does not take into account the humanistic. Education was used in order to classify people as educated people and no educated people. People took advantage of it so to create new stereotypes and to start judging people according to their studies instead of the essence.
Besides, It is thought that people learn how to be a person at home during the first years. Parents are in charged to stablish a model and to shape their principles so as to become a good person. Though, as people spend most of their time studing, there is the recommended place in which some principles could be reinforced.
On the other hand, education encourage people the importance to be
professional. Since the
industrial revolution emerged, mainstream education decided to transform the
educational system such as the way to train people so as to make people to
produce money. In other words, the educational system become as a factory.
Moreover, mainstream Education was designed for a different age.Taking into account the
years, the necessities are totally different per each decade. When the education emerged, there was
not technology as there is nowadays. Besides there is totally wrong to keep following some steps that
maybe do not fit with the actual context.
Additionally, education make as better in the perspective of intellectual. Since anyone was born, they have the capacity to adquire as much knowledge as possible. And people usually get that information when they pass through the learning process.
As a
conclusion, mainstream education encourage people to get the required knowledge
in order to fit in an industrial context. However, there is not a special
formation focused on the basic principles in order to be considered as a
person.
