An Essay On The Importance Of Education

Crafting an essay on the significance of education may seem deceptively simple at first glance, given
the broad spectrum of available information and the intuitive nature of the topic. However, delving
into the intricacies of this subject reveals a multifaceted challenge. One must navigate through a
plethora of historical, sociological, psychological, and philosophical perspectives, weaving together a
coherent narrative that not only highlights the importance of education but also delves into the
nuances and complexities that make it a topic worthy of exploration.

The difficulty lies not only in presenting factual information but also in articulating a compelling
argument that engages the reader and persuades them to appreciate the profound impact of
education on individuals and society. Striking the right balance between academic rigor and
accessible language is another challenge, as the essay should cater to a diverse audience with varying
levels of familiarity with the topic.

Moreover, addressing the evolving landscape of education adds an extra layer of complexity. As
technology continues to reshape the way we learn, incorporating these advancements into the
narrative becomes crucial. The essay must navigate the dynamic interplay between traditional and
modern educational approaches, acknowledging both their merits and challenges.

Additionally, a successful essay on the importance of education should transcend mere platitudes,
offering insightful analyses and perhaps even proposing innovative solutions to current educational
issues. This demands a deep understanding of the subject matter and an ability to critically evaluate
the existing literature.

In conclusion, writing an essay on the importance of education is not a mere exercise in listing facts
or extolling its virtues. It is an intricate process that requires a thoughtful synthesis of information,
critical analysis, and the ability to communicate complex ideas in a coherent and accessible manner.
Aspiring essayists should be prepared to navigate a challenging intellectual terrain to produce a piece
that not only informs but also inspires.

Soldier s Home Analysis
For many veterans returning home from their service in the military, their first struggle
they encounter is usually the emotional stress they carry from their experiences at war.
In the early 1900 s the difficulties these returning soldiers possessed were not being
recognized as something family, friends, and doctors needed to worry about. Although
all soldiers share different stories about their hardships, most veterans could agree that it
was tough to settle back into their previous home as quick as their hometown expected
them to. Hemingway s Soldier s Home and Saunders Home both tell a story of a veteran
returning home from war and describes how the character reacted to coming back home.
Both short stories include a veteran protagonist... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Similar to Krebs, veteran Mikey was hardly recognized or honored for his service.
Mikey was thanked by several characters in the story for his service; however, none of
those characters seemed to be interested in meeting Mikey s needs. For example, Mikey
and his mother get evicted from their home and although the landlord thanks Mikey for
his service, the family is not given an extension on their payment due date or any other
kind of leeway to avoid being removed from their home. Another similarity that the two
characters have is their proud and loving mothers who were both controlling
characters in each story. In Soldier s Home, Krebs mother is one of the few characters
that loves her son and is proud of his service, but she is blind by her love for him that
she is unable to see that he is uncomfortable by coming back home. Mikey s mother is
also proud of her son and loves him very much, but she is also unable to understand that
Mikey is not as happy as she thinks he is. Veterans are often misunderstood by many
people who haven t been through the war because none of those who have not
experienced being in combat know what it may feel like to experience the traumatic
events that many soldiers were exposed

called benignly for a national crusade against ignorance. The Republicans believed in
the creation of a nationwide system of public schools to create the educated electorate

early years of the republic, but none actually created a working system of free schools.

Books and articles attacking religious superstition attracted wide readerships and
provoked discussion. Skepticism also produced the philosophies of universalism and
Unitarianism, which emerged at first as dissenting views within the New England
Congregational church. These ideas rejected the Calvinist belief in predestination,
stating the salvation was available to all. They also rejected the idea of the Trinity. Jesus
was the only great teacher, they claimed, not the son of God. *The cause of the second
Great Awakening was rationalism, and the spread of it. In effort to stop the spread,
conservative theologians of 1790 fought the spread of rationalism, and in efforts of
church establishments to revitalize their organization.

frontier because Methodists which was founded by John Wesley, spread to America in
the 1770 s and became a formal denomination in 1784 under the leadership of Francis
Asbury. Authoritarian and hierarchical in structure, the Methodists Church sent itinerant
preachers throughout the nation to win recruits; it soon became the fastest growing
denomination in America. Almost as successful were the Baptists, who were relatively
new to America; they found a fervent following in the South. The Presbyterians,
Methodists and Baptists were mushrooming. * The message and the impact of the

Animal Cruelty In The Circus
The Circus and The Animal Cruelty It Entails

The circus can be dated back to as far as 1782 in Paris, France, where people came to
enjoy family friendly entertainment. The circus has always included tricks and stunts by
not only people, but also highly trained animals. For decades now, people have
considered the treatment of animal performances in the circus cruel and unjust. Protesters
argue that animals are stripped from their native lands and forced to preform shows,
meanwhile being treated harshly and abused by the human circus performers. Tigers,
elephants, and other animals are trained and forced to entertain audiences by standing on
their heads, jumping through hoops, and doing balance tricks. Spectators have
considered this a spiteful treatment of animals, for it is often physically challenging and
frightening to the animal performers. There have been reports of circus trainers abusing
animal performers with whips, muzzles, and other painful tools. Today, protestors are
fighting for animal s rights and against the use of animals in circuses . Protesters are
objecting to animal circus performers, purely because of the belief that these animals are
being forced to do impossible stunts, are in confined areas, and are abused with painful
tools. One of the biggest frustrations of the protesters is the fact that circus animals are
held in constant confinement. Protest organization The People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals (PETA) explains how circus animals in
A Common Theme Of Death Emerges
Throughout Sylvia Plath s poetry, a common theme of Death emerges. The poem,
Lady Lazarus , is the epitome of this theme. Plath grew up with the realities of death in
the forefront because of her father s passing at a young age and her struggles with at
least one mental illness. After numerous suicide attempts, Plath eventually succumbed
to her depression and killed herself in 1963 at thirty years old. According to a letter
regarding a possible BBC Broadcast sent to her mother, Plath wrote, The speaker is a
woman who has the great and terrible gift of being reborn. The only trouble is, she has
to die first. She is the phoenix, the libertarian spirit, what you will. She is also just a
good, plain, very resourceful woman (Appendix II,... Show more content on

The speaker relates the struggles she has been facing to the treatment of Jews during
the Holocaust. These representations of her struggles are very strong, especially when
the short length of time between the horrific event and the writing of this poem
(roughly thirty years after the end of the Holocaust) are considered. Though we are
not sure exactly what struggles are being faced by the speaker, a vivid picture is
painted with these comparisons. Here is also where I initially get the idea that the
speaker has no control over the events that have happened to her and have led her to feel
this way. The only small amount of control she can exert is by explaining her feelings in
such and extreme way to further the pain she is feeling. Slowly throughout the poem,
certain stanzas and phrases provide insight as to what her struggles are. In the fifth and
sixth stanza, the speaker explains:
Soon, soon the flesh / The grave cave ate will be / At home on me // And I a smiling
woman. / I am only thirty. / And like the cat I have nine times to die (Plath, 16 21).
In these two stanzas, it is clear that Lady Lazarus is not disturbed by death or anything
that is related to it. She welcomes the dead flesh of her grave to her body, and yet, she is
still a smiling woman. This gives the impression that, unlike typical feelings of death, the
speaker s struggles stem
Analysis Of Steven Lubar´s Inside The Lost Museum
In Steven Lubar s book, Inside the Lost Museum: Curating, Past and Present, the
recurring idea that museums are more than the sum of their parts plays a critical role in
the overall argument (329). Lubar notes many aspects that make up a museum, the
collection, for example is an essential part of any museum, but the community, as well as
the experiences of the patrons create a lasting museum experience. Additionally, Lubar
aptly utilizes real world examples, contemporary and historical, highlighting the work of
individuals in museums and establishing a connection between past and current events.
Central to this narrative is the example of the lost Jenks Museum. Lubar uses this
museum to argue that museums of the past can educate museum goers... Show more

Lubar states that large museums have so much in storage; why not transfer some of
those collections to smaller museums, where they would be eagerly put on display?
Even more radical why not sell some and use the proceeds to fund the work that
museums should be doing (146). Initially, this idea does seem radical. Large metropolitan
museums giving their collections away is not something that is often done. Lubar
explains that there are more than a billion objects in American museum collections (4).
This number is so vast that is impossible to reasonably conceive. Because of this, there
can only so many artifacts that are on display at once thus leaving countless others stuck
in storage never seeing the light of day. Smaller museums that do not have the budget to
collect could potentially benefit from larger museums deaccessioning items.
In the end, Lubar concedes that this idea probably goes too far (146). In reality, it
would not be as easy as it sounds and it would not be an easy solution to museum
storage issues. However, in the book s closing Lubar draws on the example of Robert
Fontenot s show Recycle LACMA (2009), which repurposed items that the museum had
deaccessioned and gave them new life (325). This example proves that it is possible for
museums to clear out their storage and at the same time be apart of creating something
