Myths have existed as long as history goes back. They seem inextricable from other facets of human life and often become more extraordinary when written and read during hard times. Human beings cling to them nowadays as exciting tales with many a relevant message and in the past, they were seen as established fact. Myths

Education is not the filling of a pail
I can vividly say emphatically that I strongly agree with the quote that education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. The quote is almost certainly apocryphal and it must have generated a lot of controversies among the global populace. But I belief this is one of a harmful
PENCILS TO PIXELS
Most people will tell you we have five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch, but we have six. Feeling, it’s completely different from touching because to feel something it doesn’t even have to be there and I think the age range that are the best at feeling are children. To feel you have to
Education Devoid of Values Makes Man a Cleverer Devil
Education is the system of formal teaching and learning. It is the acquisition of basic knowledge, skills and developing the body and mind while values are rather mental discipline, social efficiency and realization of standards considered worthwhile. One needs not be told that education fetches one power, admiration and respect. In the world today, one
“Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil”. – C.S Lewis
It is only possible to form a judgement about the accuracy of this statement after having formed another: that of what is meant by the term ‘education’. From the nature of the quote, in which C.S Lewis states that people who have received an education without acquiring values often then exploit their education disreputably, it
If everyone were able to speak English, what would happen to all the other languages?
The great Nelson Mandela once said, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. Undeniably education has allowed the world to become a better place and it also opens the door for one to overcome the poverty barrier. I live in Durban South Africa. My ancestors settled here from
If Everyone Were Able to Speak English, What Would Happen to the Other Languages?
Imagine 20 years from now. English is the universal language. Travelling to Europe, Asia, Africa, South America is a piece of cake. English is spoken everywhere. By everyone. No more talking with your hands or having to point at objects to make yourself understood. No need to carry a pocket dictionary. No more fumbling around
‘Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil’. – C.S Lewis
In order to fully evaluate this statement, it is necessary to break it down to its core elements. Education, by itself, provides many benefits. It is easy to see that without education, the opportunities available to you in life are limited and that there is a correlation between the standard of education and one’s standing
If everyone were able to speak English, what would happen to all the other languages?
The ability to communicate so precisely with one another is what divides us from other species of animals. Without language, it is difficult to comprehend where we would be right now – it has allowed us to question the universe and, ultimately, to develop and evolve. Therefore, what is even more incomprehensible is the prospect
“Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil”. – C.S Lewis
It’s a fact: education is one of the foundations of financial or status success in life. It can be found other ways, but education opens doors – spiritual and social as well as financial. But Lewis here rejects the idea of systematic, conformist education – he wants important and relevant teachings and ideas woven through
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela
There is a reason why every civilization throughout time has valued education—because it truly can alter our collective condition and make our lives easier, simpler, and most crucially, happier! From Egyptians learning to write on papyrus tablets to late nineteenth century scientists striving to discover medicines like penicillin, there has always been an urge in
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela
I totally agree with this quote. Why? That’s really hard to explain. But I can ask you a question: what is most important, more powerful than education? Army, Economy, Industry, Politics, or Religion? Nothing. Because everything begins with education. Indeed, a society cannot exist without education. Our society but also our mentality depend on education.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” Nelson Mandela
To quote Nelson Mandela, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “Education is the knowledge and development resulting from an educational process.” It also prepares one for the ability of reasoning and judging, readying one to face the “world”. It’s the foundation of

In the 21st century, it is better to give a child a computer than a book
In the world of globalization, it is obvious that expansion of science and technology has affected various aspects of life including education. The quality of education has been improved compared to the other centuries, since science and technology expansion has affected at large the whole process of education provision, because education provision has been simplified
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world
Introduction I am going to write about how education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world and what I think about it. Education is a powerful weapon but only if you can use it for a good use. For example Mahatma Gandhi: he was very educated. He went to
