Education can be described by using a metaphore of a tree. Its s solid structure that slowly changes over time, evolving to new times and supporitng any new dilemas that come along the way. It stands firm through rain or shine, to help people solve problems when they need more information, or need motivation to change their future. You can always count on the fact that it is going to be there, because education is everywhere, and anybody who wants it can find it. It has many branches that illustrate the different aspects of education, and in class these branches are what we have studied. When listening to presenatations and reading the essays assigned, it is clear that education as many different forms, and even with its unique branches, each branch helps people learn and grow in one way or another. For example, we read about the Pueblo cultur. Culture can teach us many things, allowing us to become less ignorant of other people and the world around us. Cultures have different forms of communication, teaching styles and traditions. We also have learned that education can come in many forms whether it be a classroom, online, using difffernt tools such as animals, or as mentioned previously technology.It might even be just living in the real world and learning through experience. Its clear then that all education is is a tool that will help us with problems and questions in the future. Its a tool that is reliable and will help people thrive in their endevors. It will help us appreciate what we have and what needs to be fixed. The branches on this tree of education will always be there for us when we need it. We just need to make sure that we nurture it, and take care of it, and help it grow because if we dont, we will miss out on a great opportunity to learn from it.
Reaserch question: Why is it that some people dont find it necassasry to take advantage of this "tree of education" in their lives, and struggle with things that would be easy to solve if they just would took the time to get a better education? What are the turnoffs of education?
