Wednesday Words

The Purpose of Education #MLK

LC January 17, 2022 Occasions

This is taken from an article that Martin Luther King Jr. wrote for his college newspaper.

It seems to me that education has a two-fold function to perform in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and the other is culture. Education must enable a man to become more efficient, to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life. Education must also train one for quick, resolute and effective thinking. To think incisively and to think for one’s self is very difficult. We are prone to let our mental life become invaded by legions of half-truths, prejudices, and propaganda. At this point, I often wonder whether or not education is fulfilling its purpose. A great majority of the so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically. Even the press, the classroom, the platform, and the pulpit in many instances do not give us objective and unbiased truths. To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction. ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Wednesday Writing

Wednesday Writing Do you use a journal? If you use one, I would love to know what you use it for. Do you use it more as a diary or a planner? do you use it as a habit tracker--words written, books read, miles walked or run, food or water consumed? Do you start a new one at the beginning of the year? Or monthly? Quarterly?
