Leo Esaki As discussed by Konrad Lorenz, Karl Von Frisch and Nikolaas Tinbergen, the corecipients of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine, animals are genetically programmed to act in certain ways. On the other hand, nongenetic factors, especially education, have a more significant effect on human behavior. Education teaches people to move beyond their genetic programming.
Education has two purposes.
The first aspect is to develop human resources that can benefit society. One such example would be occupational education. The other purpose is to develop the inner person. So-called liberal education stimulates the human intellect and develops sensitivity and individuality so that one can lead a satisfactory and worthwhile life. So far, major efforts have been made to nurture the human resources necessary to an industrial society, such as technocrats and bureaucrats.
