Short speech on role of hgher education in society

Answer 1

Hey

Here is the speech :-

The role of higher education in society

In our culture today, there is a huge emphasis on education, especially higher education. Society basically says the more educated you are, the better off you are. That is pretty much true if you live by the means of society. The basic idea that education, especially a college education, is something that people should pursue even into their adult years is not by any means a new idea.

Every society has specialized individuals who fulfill certain positions that require extended education. In some cases, these people are known as shamans, priests, or professors, or they may be doctors, mechanics, blacksmiths, or artists.

According to Webster’s dictionary, education is defined by the development and training of one’s mind, character, and skills, as by instruction, study, or example and the knowledge and skill resulting from such instruction and training. By this definition, one might argue that being educated means that you are trained or specialized to do only one thing. I believe as well as many others I have talked to about this subject that an education constitutes far more than just being trained or specialized to do one thing. I do not believe you can confine education to a single definition from a dictionary. I will be the first to admit that certain majors or degrees will set you up to be one-dimensional and specialized for one thing. However, just because you majored in that does not mean you do not receive an overall education different from that of your major. An education is more or less just as important. You see there is so much more to education than just training to be a biologist, a doctor, or a teacher. An education is what you learn about yourself and others around you. It is about opening your eyes and learning about other people and other cultures. It is about finding out which you are away from home, away from your comfort zone. You learn so much about yourself while you are at a college.
