    Education throughout history has never stopped changing. Primitive education focused mainly on preparing children to enter their society, but formal education in early civilization, like egypt, was only provided for the wealthy and only taught by priests.

People in the South didn’t as quickly accept public schools because they believed that state shouldn’t be concerned by education and that education is private, that education should prepare children for the world they will be entering, that knowledge is power and can’t be entrusted to slaves, and their different religious beliefs.…

    Born and raised in India, I often stand out in a group of Americans due to my skin color. Even more so, by different perspectives and the often peculiar ways I think. First, my experience with living in India has often pushed me to see everything to a deeper level. For example, in America, a person is considered poor if he/she doesn't have a job or a place to stay. But he/she might still have enough clothing to survive, such as a pair of pants and shoes.…
