104. It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuate the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears.

Nowadays, there increasingly arises much concern over the issue of how a culture can maintain the ideas and rules it favors. Just as the assertion offered by the speaker, some people claim that it is primarily through formal education that a culture perpetuates the ideas it favors and discredits the ideas it fears. When it comes to personal attitude towards this specific problem, formal education exert enormous influence on all fairs of our lives, which plays the important role, or say essential role, in the preservation of culture, while other means such as familiar education and media are also important to the development of culture.

To begin with, culture has its own nature, including something it favors and something it against and even fears, It has the instinct ability to protect itself. Namely, it is reasonable that a culture will advocate the ideas that it favors and erase the ideas harmful to itself. And, generally speaking, one of the most means for it to achieve this aim is through formal education. If you take a look to the textbooks, for example, you will find it easily that the textbooks set up examples to show you which is right and which is wrong, which will be helpful to adapt one’s manner to the traditional rule, which is critical to maintaining the stability of the development of culture. In addition, the textbooks educate individual to recognize the common humanity collected as tradition with the development of culture, which build the core of individual special personality. That is how the culture strong its governing position.

In the second place, situation will have some transformations if the formal education fails to practice the task of cultivating the common humanity in the mind of people in the society. There exist many examples illustrating this point in the history, when the education cannot shape individual mind and character, there will be a ruin in the whole generation and the downfall in the morality. Obviously, the convention which guide the culture’s development safely for a long time will disappear; the common humanity such as caring, compassion, tolerance, willingness to help others, and the democratic ideas will not be the mainstream of culture; Everyone goes in his own way without consideration of others. Eventually, there will be chaos in arts, science and literature, which are the basis of the development of culture.

In the third analysis, it is unwise to erase, ignore or even play down the significance of other methods, which are beneficial to preserving culture. For instance, television and newspaper exactly act as the mouthpiece of the government, especially in the austere time. See the response from media towards 9.11 terrorism in America. The media reminds the world the heinous influence exerted by terrorism on human civilization. And it is the media that clearly indicates the necessities of hard policies toward terrorism, which cannot be found in the formal education before 9.11.

In sum, from the full discussion presented, it is clear that education serves well as insurance measure to maintain the improvement of culture in the proper way. Without formal education, our society will be trapped in the chaos and can hardly make progressive strides on the road to prosperity.
