Topic: Who is an educated Person? (Read 397 times)

Well according to the advanced learners dictionary, it describes an educated person as someone who has a very high standard of learning, while the Oxford dictionary states  that an educated person is someone that have been to a school, be it primary, secondary or tertiary, we all know that education plays an important role in the forum, cause one ought to know how to read and write properly to be able to participate in the activities going on here.

 However in my understanding asides from knowing how to read and write, which describes someone educated, i think an educated person can also be described as someone that can set defenses around themselves against the world, most of us here come from or lives in areas that's insecured. Therefore based on their intelligence they should be able to strategize how to protect themselves and keep themselves from getting into danger, an illiterate might be physically strong  but might lack the basic understanding of how to survive, but it takes someone educated to study their surroundings and figure out how to safeguard themselves from being harmed. The insecurity in our country is getting out of hand, and in this new year we all need to be very strategic on how to survive. Everyone needs to be on guard, cause that's part of what makes us educat



You were  correct to an extent but you started deviating when you said Oxford dictionary state that an educated person is someone that have been to school which is not 70% correct or true because not everyone that went to school is educated, most people went to school for fun, to catch Cruz, some went to school to study only their book while some went to study both their book, character and many more. So going to school or being educated is relative. I want you to also know that being educated is different from having wisdom because and understanding, you can be educated and yet don't have wisdom. Education only, can not help you defend yourself or prevent you from getting into danger but application of wisdom and understanding will help you more because wisdom and understanding are the principal thing needed in life to do anything. I have seen a situation where someone that called himself and educated person can not approach human and issues that an average person can. In summary being educated is not enough to safeguard, prevent or defend oneself from danger and to survive in this country you need wisdom and understanding.

Being educated is the measure of the information available to you at any given time, the more information you've, the more educated you're. Education is not limited to schooling alone, there are educated illiterates. According to Henry Ford, when he filed a lawsuit against the newspaper that called him an ignorant pacifist, An educated man is a man who has access to information whenever he choose to, either from your deposition, mastermind group, or from available resources. Being educated is about the quality and quantity of information you can lay your  hands on when the need arises without much limitation. The beauty of literacy is that You must not know everything to be described as educated, having access to qualitative information validates your literacy at all times.
Even in the case of insecurity, if you're well informed,  you can avoid certain behaviors that can put you in the ways of harm, avoid certain routes that are dead zones and play safe to be able to mark yourself safe from uncertainties befalling our dear country.

For me, educations comes in different form. The primary and most necessary one is that one is able to read and write after which the most important comes in and that is the ability to think and proper solution to problems.

An educated person is basically that individual that is able to able to make use of his thinking faculty to solve problem. Going to school doesn't necessarily makes one educated, you could be a certified engineer, medical personnel or what have you hand people can see you doing something and make statement like, "you sure this one go school at all?. Education increase your thought process and makes you see things in a vast and better perspective than an average graduate.

School is not only the criteria that someone has to fulfil to be termed educated. The correct identity of an educated person is someone who knows how to read, write and then seek out information for yourself. Not everyone who has been in school is educated, some just passed through school and are still not educated. Education brings a civilised mindset, and the behaviour of an educated person and an uneducated person is very different from each other.

I have heard the term "educated Illiterate" before used in the description of some people, it is because these people went to school but are not behaving educated.

An educated person is a person that possess the characteristics of readability, wisdom in application and also versatile to learning new things and adapt to any new environment without the mindset of formal educational qualifications.

Sometimes people feel that when they call you an dedicated person, that they are talking about your certificate. But education is more than certificate. So many people have certificate but don't have wisdom and knowledge or understanding to handle crucial issue in a matured way, rather speaking grammar over an issue that just need a wisdom applied. Our people say to know book and to get wisdom na two different thing. But an educated person must have the two to be complete otherwise you are just like an empty vessel.

Sometimes on the high way you'll see two rich men, they will cause hold up all because of small minor misconception of who to first move for the other to pass. Just a simple mathematics to solve and the road will clear they will keep on speaking grammar. Like do you know who I am? do you know my educational qualifications? Do you also know that I did myaster at UK? and so on. There is no wisdom speaking in such a person rather stupidity. So its good we know when we are mixing pride with education. Because your pride might make you look like an illiterate in the public.
