Education

Education in the twenty-first century is vastly different from education in the twentieth century due to advances
in, amongst other fields, technology and science.  Our unit on education demonstrated that there were several
differing viewpoints on the purpose of a college education.
In a research paper, write about the role(s) universities should take in education and/or society.  Who should
attend?  Should education be used to benefit and advance society?  To train the next generation of workers?  To
provide a comfortable lifestyle for its graduates?  You may wish to read the introduction to the education unit in
our textbook on page 49 and the other articles, assigned and not assigned, in the unit for more ideas to form
your paper thesis.
This paper may include examples of roles educational institutions take in other countries or roles that other
educational institutions take in our country, such as trade schools or community colleges.  These examples may
be used to illustrate and support your claims.
