Our Privileged Society: Equal Opportunities for Education

Our world is created by people created by people's interaction, from law to society to the way we build greetings of each other. We hope that everyone will enjoy the same privilege in life and the economic class will be born without affecting the future. Our school system provides equal opportunities for all people and we believe our judicial system is fair. Through research of Stephen Richer and Laureen Snider, we found that our society may be privileged or partial to some people over other people.

Plato (Athens, 428 / 427-348 / 347 BC), since society was convinced that everyone could live in harmony when society gave them equal educational opportunities, so the first university concept Has been created. According to his philosophy, equal educational opportunities lead to a fair society since political and economic systems are managed by competent individuals. As Plato was deeply influenced by Socrates' method, he believed that the teacher had to recognize the limits of their knowledge and therefore have to improve themselves through the power of dialogue. Personal improvement depends on the desire to continue questioning. Only through the continuous self-challenge of our comfort zone, we can grow as our personal education, therefore expert in every field.

Unfortunately, despite the progress of our social wealth, modern education can certainly not be equal. The difference in the enrollment rate of higher education is growing for various reasons (range from 0% to 98%) (Source: Global Education Monitoring Report). Inequality is based on various important factors such as the environment (geographical area and region), anthropology and culture (race, religion and gender), economy (wealth), etc. From Plato era, as a cultural society, we do not seem to make so much improvement in the sense that education is not suitable for everyone. In fact, the reverse is true: we have built the system, you have to come from some privileged organizations to provide the best educational choice.
