Week 9 and 10 Question 3

3) Should education 'stretch a person do you think? (What do you mean by 'stretch'?)

What do I mean by stretch?- well to stretch is to enlarge or expand, for example, to stretch someone's imagination, in oder to make them believe something that was never thought possible.

This is education is it not? education should stretch one's imagination whether young or old, to learn is to define the aspects of life that remain unsolved, it can help us understand they world in which we live, for example, taking MCC!

However, can education have a negative affect socially?? For example, if you are educated does this make you better than someone? Or give a sense of supperiority? Someone with a degree is more educated than a person with a vocation such as building and plumbing, but could that educated/degree blessed person build a house?
XXXXX
So I put to you, does education STRETCH socioeconomical and class boundaries, for the worse?

  1. I think if you are educated there is a tendency to look down (a bit) at those who are not, because you do feel a sense of superiority knowing, that you know and are possible more intelligent than other people. I think that perhaps education does stretch the divide between classes for the worse because some people just cannot learn like other people and whether you are educated or whether you are not has a great baring on to which way your life could go... depending on getting a good job etc.
