Value of Education

Countries with poor educational standards cannot really achieve the level of sophistication, for its citizens, at par with those bestowed in developed nations.

With the growing popularity of education and its association with a better life (better standard of living conditions etc), there are numerous other issues that I can think of.

- Well educated individuals are usually busy because they have better paying jobs which typically carry greater responsibilities. This means less time for patience, less time for kids and most importantly less time to locate a compatible spouse.

Here is a clear indication of this:

- Apart from education, rapid innovation in science & technology has also put stress on the society. With gadgets at one's disposal - an individual is always connected with the world (be it business, be it social). This means less time for personal introspection. Less meditation implies agitated personalities. Peer pressure, office politics etc are clear side-effects.

- An issue that I can think of (which may not apply universally) is the constant friction between couples due to logic (Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus type of syndrome), views that are not coherent/synchronized.
