Education without character
-
Imo, that's because more and more Chinese in Singapore are more or less 'English' educated.Originally posted by Saint Valentine:disappointed with students in current times. They have no feeling for their fellow beings, no feeling towards handicapped, no feeling towards animals. no feeling towards environment or nature .
only feeling towards materialism.
They study only to get results and certs but character? t. A degree of PHD does not give one character. u still see people in high posts higly educated commit crimes. In shortly they have education without character.
If that' s so, I rather choose character without education.The best education u get in one's life is that of character
This is not common in other cultures in Singapore because they still learn about their roots. (Indians, Malays etc) -
soOriginally posted by Saint Valentine:let me elaborate more o why education and your character dnt have a relation to each other:
-
studies have shown that there are as many crimes committed by white collar workers as blue collar workers.
and that these statistics are only about reported crimes.
another study has shown that the poor report almost anything to the police becuase they cannot settle things on their own ( a reason for this cuold be due to the fact that they are not as educated).
the rich on the other hand...here is ONE incident:
a teen wrecks a neighbours car. but the neighbour does not report it because the teen's father can easily buy the neighbour another car. therefore, problem solved.
another case, another kid stole stuff from a neighbour's house. again, the parents can just pay the neighbour back. because these educated AND rich people have the cash, they dont have to get the police in so often.
therefore, the first stats that i mentioned is not accurate and that it is HIGHLY POSSIBLE the educated and rich people commit more crimes...
