The End of Education

Education, Education, Education we hear and as ever in life there are forces pulling the world in several directions.

The world is more educated, more literate and we all know it is critical to progress in life but on the other side we are also seeing the degrading of degrees, the idea that one can buy a masters, the rise of wanting instant fame, people who make vast sums of money with little talent and simply from being seen with the right people.

The general respect for education and culture is dropping in society, if we go back to the middle ages people with education and culture were admired partly as there weren't many people with education, whereas now people often seem to enjoy saying they know nothing.

Perhaps like many things in life, that when literacy and education is at its peak its decline has begun especially when coupled with the environmental and social problems which will afflict society over the next few decades.
