The Role Of Education In Shaping Man’s Morality In The 21st Century

In order to address the role of education in shaping morality in the 21st century, we must first gain a basic appreciation for the influence an education has on a person’s moral view in general. The ideas being taught in the classroom have always shaped the way students view the world and in turn their view of morality. This is a well-known fact, recognized by leaders throughout history. “The philosophy in the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next”—Abraham Lincoln.
