Individual purposes for pursuing education can vary. Understanding

the goals and means of educational socialization process may also differ

according to the sociological paradigm used.

The early years of schooling generally focuses around developing 【M1】__________

basic interpersonal communication and literacy skills. This lays a

foundation for more complex skills and subjects. Later, education

usually turns toward gaining the knowledge and skills needed to create

value and establishing a livelihood. 【M2】__________

People also pursue after education for its own sake to satisfy innate 【M3】__________

curiosity, out of interest in a specific subject or skill, or for overall

personal development.

Education is often understood as means of overcoming handicaps, 【M4】__________

achieving greater equality, and acquiring wealth and status for all.

Education is also often perceived as a place that children can develop 【M5】__________

according to their unique needs and potential, with the purpose of

developing every individual to their full potential.

Some claim that there is education inequality because children do

not exceed the education of their parents. This education inequality then 【M6】__________

associated with income inequality. Although critical thinking is a goal of

education, criticism and blame are often the unintended by-products of

our current educational process. Students often blame their teachers and

their textbooks, despite of the availability of libraries and the Internet. 【M7】__________

When someone tries to improve education, the educational establishment

itself occasional showers the person with criticism rather than gratitude. 【M8】__________

Better by-products of an educational system would be gratitude and

determination. Gratitude for all resources ( housing, food,

transportation, water and sewage treatment, hospitals, health care,

libraries, books, media, schools, the Internet, education, etc.) and the

determination to develop oneself would be productive than criticism and 【M9】__________

blame because the resources are readily available and because, unless you 【M10】_________

blame others, there is no need for you to do something different

tomorrow or for you to change and improve.
