The value of an educated life is immeasurable. An educated life molds and develops contributing members of society. Educated people have the ability to form their own opinions on important subject matters such as political and religious ideals. An educated person forms his or her own thoughts based on information from multiple sources and make decisions that best benefit the well-being of society.
The pieces that we have read in class support my opinion on an educated life. Plato states in Allegory of the Cave that the enlightened, or the educated, are responsible for sharing their knowledge with those who have yet to be enlightened. Giamatti values liberal education above all else. The writings we have read support the idea that an educated life is a better life.
