Education System in My Utopia (Original) Ece Sevenay (Age 16, Turkey) Cevre College Imagine a colossal, frosty swamp that does not have an end. With a pathetic endeavor, you raise your head to see the end. However, it is so powerful that no matter how hard you try to struggle, the swamp swallows you more. Our world is an insatiable and cruel swamp which is fed and expanded by the pain, poverty, starvation, racism and ignorance. For most of us Utopia is just a fairytale still being told to small kids not to kill the last sources of true innocence. In a world where humans are categorized by their skin colors, languages, religions and money; we still hope that one day, humanity will change. So, why does it have to be like that? Is there really a chance for us to purify from our lurking savagery and ignorance? I think it is so unnecessary and ill-considered to ask that question. Do you know why? It’s because we already know the answer; the keystone. And we name it: education. Education should be the water that put out the ongoing fire. It should enlighten our minds and hearts. And, it should make us love each other. Nevertheless, when I look out, all I see is pain and suffering. …show more content…

I don’t wish for a too complicated education system. Firstly, stop classifying us by asking for the things that not everyone can do. Start to understand us and try to look more deep inside. Because, somewhere deep inside, we are all blessed with fascinating talents. As Einstein says: ‘Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is

In order to be truly educated, a person should be well rounded not in just tests of intelligence, but the tests of life as well. This poses the question would you rather be completely educated in one subject and be unable to answer basic questions, or have a general knowledge of the world and understanding of how to function in society.

Education shapes the mind and opens its doors to the world and all of its influence. A lot of people view as education being a good thing while others say that it is a curse disguised as a blessing. A quote from the excerpt Learning to Read and Write by Frederick Douglass reads, “As I writhed under it, I would at times feel that learning to read had been a curse rather than a blessing. It had given me a view of my wretched condition, without the remedy. It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out.”

As you may know, utopia is an imagined community that has nearly perfect assets for its citizens. There are people who try to physically create utopian societies and end up failing.

The KKK are an organization that originated from a “resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks”(Fischer).
