Educational Purpose: Good Citizenry Vs Rational AutonomyBy Abel MerawiJanuary 26, 2021 (Ezega.com) -- Before diving into a discussion on the purpose of education, I venture into the age-old legend of the hero. While needing the hero, society also fears the shaking of the status quo. If our aim is creating this type of good citizens, we have currently succeeded; but if our aim is to foster rational autonomy, we have utterly failed. The good citizen can also be the autonomous one when acceptance comes after the rational and Socratic examination. True intellectuals are those who fully realize that justice, freedom, and humanity is for every human being and never for a personal favorite group.
