Question

man superimposed upon nature.

Answer 1

Well it is not a natural necessity as some humans do just fine without it. It is a creation of man, but hardly unwarranted.

Hunter gatherer cultures have existed into the 21st century with no tradition of formal education. But that is the vastly tiny exception the the overwhelming rule.

In our modern age, knowledge of the world, skill, and literacy are essential for survival. The most efficient way to develop those vital attributes is with formal relevant education, following standards. So Educational institutions are entirely warranted.

But the benefits go far beyond mere survival. Every technical, artistic, functional artifact in our world is essentially a product of people with formal education, bought and paid for with income from jobs that people have because they have been educated.

Without the educational institution, this forum would not even exists to debate the issue.

Answer 2

The educational institution is a necessity. Without some form of public education, the way we communicate would soon phase out. Can you imagine trying to communicate to those who can not read or write? It could work, has before, but in this day and time so much is based on being able to read the written word... so in my humble opinion.. it is a natural necessity to have an educational institution of sorts.. and thank them that you were able to write the question... and I was able to answer it.

Answer 3

Human beings can't help but to be educated. If you mean that their needs to be some formal institution like a church or school then I'd have to disagree. Many primitive societies without these institutions have people who know much about the world in which they live.

Answer 4

Just as human nature gravitates toward community and relationships, we have certain inclinations which are an important part of our psychological identity. This includes a desire to pass down "wisdom" or knowledge to future generations. We are storytellers at heart, and we want our stories to be heard. Education is essentially a formalized institution springing from this very basic human desire to tell stories, to teach.

Answer 5

Learning is natural. Education is necessary for growth. But people need to be taught how to educate themselves, how to develop the self learning process. The word education comes from educere, to bring out that which is latent. Unfortunately, education today is too much of a game of conformity, just stuffing knowledge into one's head, spitting it back in the form of a test, and thinking that one is smart and educated because they got a good grade, i.e., conformed. Ther goal of public education is to be efficient, to move as many kids through the system as possible. But have you noticed that most of the real thinkers that have moved humanity forward have had trouble with school? They were real thinkers involved in the creative process of the world, and eventually had to reject conventional learning to thrive.

Answer 6

It is natural for knowledge to reach the height of a great mountain, yet; it must also come down, the gravity of knowledge is fascinating at times. And most materials for writing history comes from the very act of knowledge rising and falling in that silent space. The writers world.
