FIRST DRAFT (2)


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.

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.

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.

Many people concede that this new generation is going to be better than the other ones. For instance, when a child can manipulate a smart phone, adults give credits to children, believing that the child is the smart one. However, they do not analyze that this type of technology was made for everyone, and that the smart one is the phone, not the children. As a matter of fact, there are some issues that are indirectly related the technology with children.

Thanks to the internet, everyone can have access to any information in their own handheld devices, the main issue is the quality of information. If the information is totally unreliable.  
          Moreover, handheld devices affect indirectly the children’s behavior. There have been different studies which aim to inquire the main causes that make children misbehave in these days. Nevertheless, one probable main cause could be related to the fact that only with touching a screen, children can access to any sort of content, even that content not allow to children. Those forbidden content are where is less expected, for instance, some apps for children which the main purpose is to provide entertainment, fun for children, such as Sugar Crush, Royal Kingdoms (Disney), may include different sort of advertisements for adults, with information that children do not understand. Those types of advertisements of war games that give the message that they only need to kill people to survive.
          Besides, children develop an addition to handheld devices. Most of the technological creators, such as Steve Jobs, avoid their children to use those devices owing to the fact that they take into account the serious addition that anyone who uses it could develop. At the begging it is normal to spend some type with these devices, however, when it makes children to avoid doing their responsibilities such as assignments from school. Some parents consider it is normal because they do it the same. Children just follow the parents’ example; they will do whatever their parents do. 
          On the other hand, handheld devices encourage children to add fun during the learning process. Technology brought with it different tools that are pretty useful for children during the learning process. It is thought that this era is surrounded by technology; classrooms nowadays offer different activities in which children can involve handheld devices at the same time they are learning. Also, there are many apps to download in those devices that the main purpose is to practice different topics using didactic ways to entertain children. Some of the TV shows for children develop an app in order for children to learn with their favorite characters that they see on television.   
          To conclude, handheld devices introduce some negative consequences to children. That is why it is totally important that parents support children at the same time when they are involved with handheld devices. Besides, parents should manage a schedule with the specific time that children can spend with those devices so as not to make them addicted. All of that in order to expect more from a generation that since before be born they are involved with it.
