Is it meaningless to receive education without understanding the purpose of education?
The purpose of education is to cultivate and shape a person's good cognitive and thinking mode.

Many people will think that education is to impart knowledge. Of course, this statement can't be wrong, just not deep enough. Because knowledge is usually cheap or even free, but the way to acquire knowledge is expensive, which is not only reflected in money, but also in your own thinking ability, vision and so on. For example. Now this era is the era of big data and artificial intelligence. What should I do if I want to learn related technologies? Ordinary people will think that they are not related majors, so they should at least study some related majors in universities. But if a person has a strong self-study ability, he knows where to find learning resources, such as online courses, and who to consult when encountering problems. The correct education method he received from childhood can also make him have enough learning ability to learn relevant knowledge points. The function of education is not to instill knowledge, but to cultivate this learning ability. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.

Then talk about the rise of class. In fact, education is not so much a way to improve in the classroom as an education, and education is only a by-product of education. Don't equate all the functions of education with composition.

Education also means more than school education. I said at the beginning that the purpose of education is to shape correct cognition. A person with limited social cognition may simply think that the class has risen, made money, worked hard, and worked hard all his life, or stayed in the original class; A person who has a good understanding of society will have a broad vision and rich knowledge, have a general understanding of the living conditions of all social strata, and know in which direction he should work if he wants to climb up. At the same time, he will also have his own life goals and beliefs, and live according to his own values, instead of following others' advice. Spiritual life is also richer, so that all leisure time will not be spent on mahjong tables or casinos. This is the real change that education brings to people.
