Why does the current society seek
a higher education?
It is undoubtedly evident that people in our
generation are obsessed to pursue a higher education due to limited paths to
success but surplus of people.
It is not a sudden trend,
however, we have always lived in a society where competition is indispensable.
The tension of competition existed in primitive society, when males show off
his strength in order to be selected by females.
As a society develops, a
notion of civilization gradually appears, and people start to take parts in
their state’s economy. At that time, only certain privileged people have
authority over others. That power has been passed down as a family/genealogy
heritage. As a result, a monarchy appeared and it ruled all across Europe for
centuries.
However, things have slightly
changed than those days. Now, an average middle class person is eligible to
climb up to that aristocrats’ world via “a higher education”. It is the world
where people are no longer subjugated to their social status. They now have
much better paths to become successful as long as they have a strong will of
yearning of success. A higher education is the very mean which will make their
dreams come true.
