What Is Good Education

What is a Good Education?

Education literally means the things a person learns by being taught.
So, the definition of a good education would be the things a person learns
by being taught well.  But what exactly does that mean?  No one has ever
told you that, right.  To me a good education is basically achieved when a
person has a general to specific knowledge of the things that have
happened in the world, things that could happen in the future of the world,
how to communicate with others, and how to live safely in the world today.
In order to live in this day and age, a person needs to know what has
happened to people or places before their time.  This is basically learned in
a history class.  If the person is well educated in history, they should know
major events that have happened in the US as well as other parts of the
world.  Some examples of “major events” would be the signing of the US
Constitution, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, space exploration and
any other important events in the world.  If a person does not know basic
things like this then they have no place in society.  People do not
necessarily have to know the exact day that a war started or ended or who
signed the Constitution and when they signed it, they simply need to feel
comfortable in a conversation about the Constitution or any other historical
event.  People also need to have a general idea of the history of English.
This is taught in any English course.  People should know a little about
Beowulf, Romeo and Juliet, The Crucible, and The Canterbury Tales.
These are just a few examples of popular works in literature.  If people have
a general understanding of these and other important literary works, they
will not feel uncomfortable if they end up in a discussion about English.
They should also know a little about the famous authors of the past such as
William Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allen Poe, and Charles
Dickens.  To know the names of some famous authors and what they are
famous for should be enough for a person to be able to function in society.
However, knowing a little bit of detail about authors in history would be of
great help.
     People should also know a little about what could happen in the
future.  They should know a little about the ways the government could
change, space exploration breakthroughs, who is forming a peace treaty,
as well as if a war could break out.  This informati...
