Be it resolved that education is the only way out of the U.S current economic condition

In order to effectively debate this moot, the preposition identifies some key words in the moot to be “education”, “only” and “current”Education is defined as “the act or process of imparting or acquiring generalknowledge, developing the powers of reasoning andjudgment, and generally of preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.” http://dictionary.reference.com...Only can be is defined as“showing that something or someone is the best” http://www.macmillandictionary.com...And current is defined as“Belonging to the present time.” http://www.thefreedictionary.com... >>>>>Rebuttal<<<<<<<My opponent stated that “Education may be one way to get out of our current economic situation, but it is not the ONLY way.” Now is that so? You failed to provide in valid definitions therefore by adding my definition of “only” to your statement it can then be stated as such:“Education may be one way to get out of our current economic situation, but it is not THE BEST way out.” My opponent how is it that you are saying that it is not the best way? Then what then is the best way? One thing you need to understand is that being educated is different from being learnt. You don’t have to go to school to be educated, the mere fact that you can identify a number, a shirt, a book, a cat, a cup, a ball etc. that my friend is education notice my definition said “acquiring GENERAL knowledge” and “DEVELOPING the powers of REASONING” you mention a few things now let us examine them.A). Auto industry: - are you saying my opponent that those in the auto industry have no form of education? My opponent the mere fact that you can reason that the auto industry is a way that we can revive the economy, is opponent, education because you “develop the powers of reasoning” to come to such conclusion.Others include trading overseas, American recovery and reinvestment act and fixing our problems in our economy. Now my opponent can you trade without the powers of reasoning, which indeed is education? Didn’t it take education to derive at the American recovery and reinvestment act? How is it that you are going to fix the problem if you don’t identify what the problem is? which will involve the powers of reasoning which is then education. I will explain that in detail. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>My Arguments<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< My arguments will be centered on three main points which is as such: a) Through education one can identify what is the problem and strategies to execute a solution. b) To every field education forms the basis of it c) Education is a process and can curve skill or talent into a fortune. Now that is declared let us therefore explore point (a) according to the website, economyincrisis.org an article under the heading "Major Economic Concerns Facing the United States" states "The United States is facing economic disaster on a scale few nations have ever experienced. Most people are unaware of the easily observable signs of this emerging crisis. While we persist in our superpower mentality, we have quietly become a second-class country in many respects." Now how it is that one is able to identify such a fact? Isn’t it through the powers of reasoning and acquiring general knowledge, which in fact is education? It is impossible for us to find a "way out" without first identifying the problem. The article continues in stating "We no longer manufacture what we need to sustain ourselves, we import much more than we export, and we are selling off our assets and taking on massive debts to sustain a standard of living we can no longer afford. Not only is this not the way America became a superpower but it is a sure way to lose this status." Now that we use general knowledge and the powers of reasoning which is education to identify the problem how is it that we find our way out of the problem? It is therefore by deriving at solutions and implementing those solutions. But how does one derive at a solution? Isn't it that one has to reason out a solution and the powers of reasoning is education and in order to execute a solution takes some form of education? The article continued in stating "Drastic action is needed to restore our economic and financial independence and we must begin immediately to rebuild our industries. The first essential is that our government should ensure that it is once again profitable to produce most goods and services in American factories employing American workers." Now if one believe that these strategies will stabilize the American economy and implementing them will take some form of education. Therefore I can safely say that education is "the best" way out of the U.S current economical condition.
