The Importance Of Education In Education

Given our continuous struggles and progressions to become the “greatest” nation, the United States of America should be inhabited by some of the utmost perceptive and scholarly individuals. But are the industrial and technological advancements that are supposed to be enabling us access to knowledge quickly doing simply that – enabling us? Quintessentially, recall any single day full of effort that our colleagues, family members, friends, or ourselves didn’t need to ask any questions; recall a day that we knew all the information that we needed to know in order to act knowledgeably in our daily living.
