For example, if a caveman who learned to make fire died without passing on his knowledge, the knowledge would die with him. Therefore the ones who did not know how to make fire would freeze to death the next winter. If we did not pass on knowledge, useful information would die along with person who held it. It is impossible, that is why we pass on knowledge. I also agree with some of Socrates views on the purpose of education.
Education can create perfect, stable citizens with good character.
For example, a poorly educated automobile mechanic would probably beat on a broken part of a car, with a hammer until it worked again, and repair anything the hammer could not fix with duck-tape. While on the other hand, a highly educated automobile mechanic determines the problem, repairs or replaces the broken part. On a different note there are several things I hope to accomplish as a teacher. I hope that I can get each and every one of my students to learn everything they are required to, and provide a good model of behavior. I also hope that I can help my students grow up to be good citizens, which is by my view a citizen who respects their country and others around them.
