Introduction

The state is doing everything possible to ensure that children grow up healthy and happy, receive an excellent education, master the new information technologies necessary in the 21st century, become worthy, respected people, patriots of the Fatherland.

As we can see, one of the goals is to provide education, which is enshrined in the fundamental law of the state - the Constitution of the Russian Federation. What is the reason for such goal-setting, how necessary is it, and what is its usefulness, let's try to figure it out now.

Thus, education is the process and result of the assimilation of systematized knowledge, skills and abilities. Consequently, in the process of education, there is a transfer from generation to generation of knowledge of all those spiritual riches that humanity has developed, the assimilation of the results of socio-historical knowledge, reflected in the sciences of nature, society, technology and art, as well as the mastery of labor skills and abilities. Thus, in my opinion, education is a necessary condition for preparing for life and work, the main means of introducing a person to culture and mastering it, the foundation for the development of culture.

Based on the foregoing, I believe that an educated person is a useful person - he is a kind of means of transmitting information.

1. Word and life

"The word of a man is the blood of his heart"(Arabic proverb)

The above proverb of the people of the East means that everything that a person can convey to people useful through words cannot be expressed by him for the benefit of people if this is not experienced and felt by the speaker himself. The word, as one of the important means of communication with people, should be not only a means, but also a special reasonable content - that which gives a person his spiritual experience of life and observation.

Powerfully influencing the minds and feelings of people, such a word passes into the creative process of life and spiritualizes this life, giving it a reasonable content and direction. In the general cultural development of mankind, special spiritual values ​​have accumulated only from such a direction of human activity, such as religion, in its true meaning, which has given in the field of feeling the moral laws of relationships between people, and science, which has provided in the field of experience and knowledge abundant material for the material improvement of human life.

To liberate a person’s personality from ignorance and awaken the creativity of thought in him, education is necessary - this is the widest acquaintance of a person with the achieved scientific values ​​​​with a free study of everything that is subject to the attention and judgment of a person.

The need to convey the experience of life, as well as the need to explore the hidden forces of nature, is innate in the feeling of a person as a rational, thinking being. This created a succession of one generation with another, contributing to the further mental development of mankind.

The reader began to seek in reading not solutions to the serious issues of life, not confirmation of the fidelity of his observations and experiences, but pleasure to himself during the rest, but not from labor, but from the severity of the excesses he overcomes. And since such a reader was born, then, by demand, causing a proposal, a writer appeared, satisfying the taste of this reader, and therefore the word itself, as a means of communication, lost such a high value given to it before, as a means for expressing only special human wisdom. It is worth recalling the words of the poet: "Sow the reasonable, the good, the eternal: sow, - the hearty Russian people will thank you! ..".

From all that has been said, a conclusion should be drawn both for the writer and for the reader, and for the latter, perhaps, an equally serious attitude to reading is necessary, since this helps self-education. The very essence of reading should not consist in a simple mechanical perception of other people's knowledge, other people's thoughts and moods - "what the last book says, it will fall on the soul"; the essence of reading consists in experiencing one’s own thoughts and moods excited by what is read, that is, in translating other people’s words and thoughts into the language of one’s own spiritual feeling, which is born from deepening one’s consciousness into transmitted thoughts in connection with one’s observations of life.

Only such an attitude creates a condition for the enlightenment and development of human consciousness, for life is, first of all, creativity, and in order to create, this requires an active ability and the ability to understand the surrounding circumstances.

2. What is an educated person?

A truly educated person is not the one who graduated from any, even a higher, educational institution - you never know ignoramuses, narrow specialists or clever careerists come out of them! Not the one who has read many, even very many, at least the best books in his lifetime. Not the one who has accumulated in himself, by one means or another, a certain stock, however large, of various kinds of knowledge. This is not the very essence of education.

Its very essence is in the influence that it can and should produce on the surrounding life, in the power that education will give a person to remake the surrounding life, in introducing something new into it, one’s own in one area or another, in one or another her corner. Whether it is a general education or whether it is a special education, all the same, its criterion is the alteration of life, the changes made in it with its help.

The greatest happiness for a person is to feel strong. Of course, we are not talking about physical strength, but about the strength of the spirit. The greatest reformers in science and philosophy - Newton, Pascal, Spencer, Darwin - were physically weak people. It is important to be able to prove your opinion. An opinion that he cannot prove, defend against attack, or enforce is of little value. We must all understand education as an active and luminous force, not only in itself, but precisely in terms of its application in social life.

Especially valuable for us are those educated people who have responsiveness, strength of feeling, energy, will, those who know how to penetrate to their very foundations the spirit of society. It is these, and only these, educated people that we can call intelligent people in the best sense of the word. “What are these educated people to us, who are educated only for themselves and to themselves! one worker writes to us. “We are neither warm nor cold from such people!” Absolutely correct. Russia doesn't need those. The last decade of Russian life has shown quite clearly what kind of educated people the people are waiting for and what many of the most intelligent, capable, sympathetic people from the most diverse sections of the population are trying to become. An intelligent person is such a person who knows and understands life, and its course, and its needs, and its needs to such an extent, who at any moment can prove to be their real spokesman.

To understand the surrounding life is the first task of an educated person. Service to the surrounding life, the nature of this service - this is the touchstone for judging it. Whoever you are, reader, young or old, Russian or foreigner, man or woman, do not forget the social significance of your education, and even more so of self-education. Russian history is unique and changeable. It can force any of you at any moment to become a representative of life, its interests and needs, aspirations and hopes, an exponent of its most urgent demands and workers and fighters for their satisfaction. A truly educated person must always be ready and prepare in advance to be at any moment, in case of need, the spokesman for the needs and needs of the surrounding social life.

It is not in this matter of his, i.e., not in his profession and occupation, that the very essence of man is, but in the man himself, in his attitude to this business of his.

In a very dark corner, even the most ordinary candle is an extremely important and literally bright phenomenon, and does an important job, and can even be proud of what it does, the fact that here it pours light where no electric lamps have yet penetrated, and will they penetrate, and when?

Where there is light, there cannot be but the spread of light to others. If there is an educated, thinking, understanding, thoughtful, socially inclined person, he cannot do without public service, and in any case, a person who is unable to express the interests of life is not really an educated person in the best, highest sense of the word.

Our definition of it is somewhat at odds with the usual definition of education. It may be objected to us that it is impossible not to include scientists who are alienated from social activity among the educated and people.

An educated person is certainly a versatile, and therefore tolerant person. It must be completely alien to the spirit of intolerance and ideological exclusivity. Facts require thoughtful study, discussion and comprehensive assessment. Thus, the first task of a truly educated person is not to be narrow-minded, to develop a versatile knowledge and understanding of life and the ability to evaluate other people's opinions about life, having their own.

“The worldview and the life task and goal of the life of each person is determined by his historical situation”, the conditions of that time and that place, that social and national environment in which we live, although we should not blindly obey these conditions. wiyam. The task of education can be summarized in the following words mi: it should “so guide the development man so that he becomes able to understand his natural and historical environment and act in it. "Educated is he who knows how to quite consciously and with conviction determine his attitude to thoughts and ideas, to life forms and aspirations of his living environment."

3. Requirements for an educated person

knowledge word educated public

Anyone, no matter who he is, can always, with his inner striving, though not without effort, and sometimes even a hard struggle, rise at least one step above the usual level of everyday life. Let this be only a grain of the achieved enlightenment, but it still has benefits for social life. This is said about people who have no other conditions for their enlightenment, as soon as through self-education. But what about those who have had the opportunity to take advantage of all the conditions and means of education? What can be said about a person who has received a comprehensive and complete education?

Life makes more demands on such a person. An educated person must turn all his knowledge into a constant source of light for others. He must enter into the sphere of enlightening and ennobling influence on life itself and become in direct communication with the masses of the people. An educated person should represent that part of society that, like blood in the heart, transforms itself from the coarse material of life into spiritual values ​​for the entire social organism.

It should manifest a special type of social activity. It should be not a dead passive force, but an active heart and brain of the social organism, intelligently uniting with all its directions, as a thinking, feeling and directing force. He must understand and evaluate reality in terms of the public good. An educated person cannot be educated only for himself and to himself - he is educated for everyone and should be a bright phenomenon in the corner where he lives.

Such an increased demand for an educated person is currently being dictated by life itself. It is not enough for an educated person only to know about many scientific things, but he must show by himself how this scientific must be applied to life in communion with people, in short, to live scientifically. And this is already moving into the area of ​​self-knowledge, into the area of ​​feeling. To do this, you must first of all become spiritually stable and strong yourself, you must accumulate in yourself not only the power of thought and reason.

The life of life is littered with many habits with harmful consequences, and this is only because people see examples of the actions of other people in satisfying their harmful whims. The practical application of scientific thought, the formation of separate circles for putting scientific ideas into practice, will create centers that enliven life, from which will pass into public life the influence on the creation of a new scientific way of life of the people. This will be helped by the ability of an educated person to ponder, evaluate and understand the demands of current life.

The ability of an educated person to organize in life, relying on reliable scientific knowledge and impartial moral obligations, should always be the property of society, as material that compensates for the social inequality of mental development, especially if this is inherited from the past conditions of social life. So, only with such a personal relationship of an educated person to life can one call him truly educated in the best and highest sense of the word.

Conclusion

While doing this work, I came to the conclusion that only in the special conditions of the personal activity of an educated person and in his direct contact with the broad masses of the people can a wide opportunity be created for transferring education through a practical life path to the very environment of people's life. If knowledge is transmitted to students within the walls of educational institutions, then outside these walls, consciousness and practice should work.

The scientific value acquired by an educated person obliges him to this special scientific activity in direct contact with people. This, undoubtedly, will greatly facilitate and develop self-education for those who do not have the opportunity to break away from family working life and devote their years exclusively to science. True, one of the types of communication is literature, it is the printed word, which is an intermediary between a thinking educated person and a person who is looking for means for his spiritual development. But after all, the word itself, which is transmitted by literature, comes from those processes of life in which man himself finds himself, according to the expression: "whoever is defeated by whom, that is his slave."

Three qualities - extensive knowledge, the habit of thinking and nobility of feelings - are necessary for a person to be educated in the full sense of the word. (Chernyshevsky N.G.)

Education is something that people undertake in relation to themselves and for themselves: a person “forms” himself. Others can teach us, but we can only “educate” ourselves on our own. And this is not an empty play on words. Educating yourself is not the same as learning something. We study with the aim of acquiring various skills; we are working on our education in order to become something, to be in harmony with this world. How can you describe it?

Yes, at the beginning of life, we, being unintelligent kids, eagerly and thoughtlessly absorb the culture into which our birth plunges us. Over time, with the development of memory, intelligence, morality, we learn to evaluate culture and begin to see its flaws, point them out to adults, which results in the emergence of youth protest subcultures, which today often, instead of aiming at constructive criticism, lead either to self-destruction or to destruction. society, that is, destructive criticism - criticism without any creative proposals to correct the situation.

Our education thus consists of the basic programs of the psyche absorbed in childhood, accumulated on top of this stereotypes (this also includes various facts), some kind of development of the intellect machine, if we are lucky with the environment, then some kind of development of feelings, and if we are very lucky - then a certain culture of thinking, the skills to change one's psyche, work with information, understand the methods of action and create knowledge at the pace of life.

Also, all this connects in the psyche and guides through life a system of moral standards, which for the most part is also drawn from culture and partly constructed independently at a more conscious age, and even the recommendations of conscience, which we, by virtue of our morality, either follow, and then problems in life we have less, because conscience protects against notable mistakes, or we are deaf to it, and then life in every possible way indicates to us the need to turn our attention to this very advice of ours.

If we correlate with the task of preserving or acquiring by this society the ability to further develop culture and support the personal development of all, then society has the right to demand from each:

Self-control (i.e., the will of a person should be powerful, first of all, over his instincts and culturally determined behavioral skills, including habits - unconscious automatisms of behavior). This is so because it is self-control that is the basis of the most important personal quality that opens up the possibilities for the free development of society: "acceptance" - the ability to perceive people as they are, and tolerantly (without indulgence) treat them, regardless of their personal vices, shortcomings and the mistakes they make (including systematic errors). At the same time, “tolerance” implies the rejection, overcoming and suppression of attempts to enslave oneself, arising from other individuals and corporations, both through the use of force by potential enslavers or the threat of its use, and through the creation of a heterogeneous dependence on the “patron”-single-owner or “patronizing” corporations, etc.

Sociability combined with caring and benevolence, since it is these qualities that allow you to enter into communication with other people both in order to live and work together with them, and in order to help them identify and resolve their problems.

An effective personal culture of feelings and a culture of thinking, since they underlie the creativity of people both in work and in helping others, the basis for the safety of others in communication and in joint activities with a person.

Possession of general cultural skills and the development of a standard education for society, which unites all adult members of society in every historical era. This group of criteria includes the ability to read and write, including.

This is the minimum that all citizens in society should have, but many do not grow up to this level of upbringing.

As you can see, knowledge of the facts is only a very small part of real education and upbringing, however, many people have problems with this.

AN EDUCATED PERSON IS A MANDATORY READER

A reader of fiction, from which he learns how to express his thoughts, desires and feelings. He studies the language of the soul. Realizes that the same things can be perceived differently than he used to. Love differently, hate differently. He learns new words and metaphors that describe mental states. Replenishing his vocabulary, enriching the palette of concepts, he learns to more accurately express his experiences and, thereby, to feel more subtly.

An educated person talks better and more interestingly about himself and the world than someone who can only repeat fragments of vivid phrases or aphorisms that he once recited. A person's ability to accurately express himself allows him to deepen and refine his idea of ​​himself. This process can continue indefinitely.

In addition, reading activates one of the most important mechanisms of the psyche, on which the future depends, both for an individual and for all of humanity as a whole. This is imagination. If you do not imagine, do not dream about your future, someone else will make it for you. Today, mass culture is fighting in every possible way against imagination, accustoming only to consume ready-made information, but not to create, not to imagine something new. As a result, a person becomes an appendage to a TV or to a feed on a social network. The book teaches our consciousness to imagine, create worlds, endow them with details and features that are not even in the book - it teaches us to create!

We live in an age when the rate of development of society, its economic progress and the life of each of us depends on knowledge. Without them, a person cannot cognize nature, master its riches, manage modern technology, manage production, establish his own business, and cannot himself be a harmonious personality.

The prestige of knowledge, the prestige of education is becoming ever higher. Neither upbringing nor education can be given ready-made. Becoming educated means, first of all, learning to learn, and for those who have mastered this skill, the process of education lasts a lifetime, and life itself becomes diverse and vibrant.

WHAT IS AN EDUCATED PERSON?

What is an educated person and why make yourself such? First of all, you must answer these questions for yourself.

An educated person is not the one who graduated from any, even a higher, educational institution - you never know ignoramuses, narrow specialists or clever careerists come out of them! Not the one who has read many, even very many, at least the best books in his lifetime. Not the one who has accumulated in himself, by one means or another, a certain stock, however large, of various kinds of knowledge. This is not the very essence of education.

Its very essence is in the influence that it can and should produce on the surrounding life, in the power that education gives to a person for reshaping the surrounding life, in introducing something new into it, one’s own into one or another of its areas, into one or another another corner of it. Whether it is a general education or whether it is a special education, all the same, its criterion is the alteration of life, the changes made in it with its help.

The greatest happiness for a person is to feel strong. Of course, we are not talking about physical strength, but about the strength of the spirit. The greatest reformers in science and philosophy - Newton, Pascal, Spencer, Darwin - were physically weak people. There were many such among public figures. The whole point is in the power of the spirit. Without fortitude, there is no strength and education. Without education, in modern times, the spirit is also powerless. This is still not enough for an educated person to have solid, definite, precise knowledge and solid, well-founded opinions based on them. First of all, he must also be a fighter for his opinions. An opinion that he cannot prove, defend against attack, or enforce (whether broad or deep is another matter) is of little value. It is especially important for us Russians, for our native people, driven into a gloomy dead end by the blind and selfish force of the past, to understand education in the sense of an active, reforming force, and just such a force, because without it it is worthless. We must all understand education as an active and luminous force, not only in itself (this is still not enough!), but precisely in terms of its application in social life.

The greatest value for us, for our homeland at a given historical moment is not the person who has more or less extensive, deep, versatile, accurate and reliable knowledge; and not even the one who knows how to think critically and delve into the surrounding life, understand it in its whole and in particular - this is still not enough! Especially valuable for us are those educated people who have responsiveness, strength of feeling, energy, will, those who know how to penetrate to their very foundations the spirit of society. These, and only these educated people, we can call intelligent people in the best sense of the word.

The last decade of Russian life has shown quite clearly what kind of educated people the people are waiting for and what many of the most intelligent, capable, sympathetic people from the most diverse sections of the population are trying to become. An intelligent person is such a person who knows and understands life, and its course, and its needs, and its needs to such an extent that at any moment he can prove himself to be their real spokesman.

To understand the surrounding life is the first task of an educated person. Service to the surrounding life, the nature of this service - this is the touchstone for judging it. Whoever you are, reader, young or old, Russian or foreigner, man or woman, do not forget the social significance of your education, and even more so of self-education. Russian history is unique and changeable. It can force any of you at any moment to become a representative of life, its interests and needs, aspirations and hopes, a spokesman for its most urgent demands and a worker and fighter for their satisfaction.

A truly educated person must always be ready and prepare in advance to be at any moment, in case of need, the spokesman for the needs and needs of the surrounding social life. No education, no self-education should, above all, disregard this possibility.<...>

It is not in this his business, i.e., not in the profession and occupation, the very essence of man, but in the man himself, in his respect to this business.

An educated person is first and foremost a servant of life. But not only the surrounding life, not only your corner, your circle, your family, your personality. Education, understood in the best sense of the word, excludes narrowness - the narrowness of thought, knowledge, understanding, mood. The narrowness of the spirit does not see behind the details, behind the particulars, it forgets the whole, the many, the varied, the great.<...>

An educated person is certainly a versatile, and therefore tolerant person. He must be completely alien to the spirit of intolerance and ideological exclusivity, and he cannot but look at every opinion that disagrees with him, first of all, as a fact that must be known and recognized as such.

Thus, the first task of a truly educated person is not to be narrow, to develop in oneself a versatile knowledge and understanding of life and the ability to evaluate other people's opinions about life, having one's own, factually substantiated.<...>
