Question

What do u think it means to be an educated person?

I would like to hear everyone's different opinions =)

Thanks!

Answer 1

Being educated is the difference between holding a job on Wall Street and flipping burgers in a fast food place for the rest of your life.

Education will open doors that ignorance can not locate.

Answer 2

Well, first being an educated person means writing in correct English (if that's the language of the essay). Second, being an educated person means being smart enough to know when someone wants to plagiarize your ideas!

Answer 3

I think educated suggests someone who has undergone a lot of learning and cultural experience.  I do think that an educated person means they have had an education (ie, schooling).  That doesn't mean, however, that they are necessarily smart or that someone who isn't educated is dumb.

Answer 4

Being educated to me means being well-rounded. Schools make you do so many different subjects that you learn a little about everything, then if you are educated even further you get to have indepth knowledge about one subject as well as the well rounded knowledge that you got before.

Being educated opens up a world of opportunities, you can do anything you set your sights on!

Answer 5

Education opens windows of the mind and enablespeople to think and to juge things for themselves. It develops their minds. It improves the judgement of an individual on all social and political  matters with which he is concerned. In short, an educated person becomes a useful citizen, he knows how to conduct his own life. He also knows how he should deal with public.
