I'm taking a class at the University and we had to read
this article on what the characterstics of an educated person
are so I just thought I'd share because I found it all very
interesting.
1) They are seekers of the truth.
2) Their prespective should extend over the past, the present
and the future.
3) They are citizens of the world as well as of the United States.
4) They should have achieved a firm moral base embodying
at least a sense of vocation, a deep concern for human
betterment, the obligation of service to others, social responsiblity,
equality among persons, and loyalty to the truth.
5) They should be able to have thought in a mature way about
the ultimate meaning of human existence.
6) They should have delved in some depth into a particular field
of study.
7) They should have had sufficient experience in interpersonal
relationships to enable them to get along with others persons
with civility, tact and finesse, to be constructive members of
groups and organizations, and to be good companions.
8) They should be self reliant and self supporting.
9) They should have the capacity and desire to learn throughtout
their lives.
10) They should have developed their bodies as well as their
intellects and achieved rapport with nature.
11) They should be prepared to live interesting and fullfilling lives
as the human condition and individual fortunes might permit.
DANG, it takes way too much to be well-educated....LOL!
No wonder they say "The older, the wiser" takes you a whole
damn lifetime...LOL...I'm getting there though ;)
