What can education do to our community, could this do good things or can this do bad stuffs? I remember the line that the native said once when i saw the movie "THE GODS MUST BE CRAZY", he said "education makes life complicated". WOW! I came to think that maybe he's right. People get educated and invent stuffs and after inventing, they sell it...it gets into our lifestyles and start to adapt. Every invention improves and improves and some people are left out(sorry for the uneducated ones but it's the fact right?).

i think education improves society and help people grow and evolve into humans rather than apes. without education, society will remain backwards, ignorant losers with no life, drooling garbage out of their mouth...we still have such crap nowadays... i think everyone makes of themselves what they want..if they are uneducated, they chose it that way, and if they are educated, they chose it that way. you chose your life. even if people dont have money for college, and they want an education, they will educate themselves by reading a lot, observing, and learning through life. education comes in different forms.

yeah, education improves society and help people grow... but the fact is, when education started many people suffer from it. Some are left behind and some are left ignorant. after education started, there is now an inequality, poor, beggars, rich and life became so unequal. Life before is just farming, hunting, fishing so simple but now, people have ranks, the poor became poorer and the rich became richer. Life became unequal because of education. If only all people can be educated life would be better for all.

people choose the life they lead. many people without college degree make a lot of money if they arent lazy...sales jobs give opportunity for non-intellectual people to many unlimited income if they work hard in the field. many people without college degrees are starting their own business based on their main hobby. corporations hire the lower level people for quotas anyway.

On some level I think education does complicate things because it makes you realize what you don't have. But if it were not for education and pushing the limit we may be without many thing that we have now.

education is a good thing, education makes you aware of what is going on in the world, and educated people can change the world and also make it a better place for other people

I think you are right.Education is more complicated by the invention increasing day by day.The invention makes the everylife more effectively and colorful. The internet is the typical one of these. We different people can discuss together on the mylot.And the cellphone is another one .You can talk to your relatives and friends everywhere. But is this make our life happy and easy? I don't this so. The internet makes the life more imaginative.Like the cyber love , turst will be a problem. The cellphone make us have no spare time even in the cinema. I find my time of think myself decreases day by day.My belief turns more mutiple.Judge is more important thing in my life.
