How Education Affects People Behaviour (Second Part)

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you."

B.B. King

We have discovered in the first part that the principal function of the knowledge is the survival of the individual.

However today we forget an important fact: both space and time contraction makes the environment in which the individual has to adapt changing continuously.

The education should precede the changes with the same speed and, accordingly, to prepare above all the individuals from a cultural point of view.

This should be true both regarding knowledge and values.

Instead this doesn't happen, and there is by now an increasing asynchrony between the technological development and the culture.

Being a modern man today it means above all to understand the relationships among the things, really because it is this type of education that allows to interpret better the reality in which we lives.

The individual behaviour is exclusively influenced by the models of consumption and not from a solid preparation, both from a scientific and from an economic point of view.

It is true that the access to the information and to knowledge is much more available that in the past and it is to disposition of everybody, thanks also to the Internet.

Nevertheless the role of the formal education is clearly insufficient to prepare the people, for this it makes him necessary to resort to the auto-formation.

Only resorting to the auto-formation and to continuing education the individual can hope to fill this gap and to live as a protagonist the new millennium.

You treats therefore to go over the survival, deals with understanding the challenges that attend us, above all that energetic, and to gather all the opportunities of career and personal improvement, that are in front of us.
