Difference Between Literate And Educated

Let’s discuss what the difference between literacy and Education is. Although I am neither an Educationist nor a scholar but on the basis of my limited understanding I can spell this differences.

Literacy teaches us how to read and write and Education teaches us what to read and write.

Literacy is fact oriented whereas Education is value oriented. For instance a literate person will talk about economic growth rate whereas an educated person will talk about economic growth with distributive justice.

Literacy gives information whereas Education gives knowledge. The difference between information and knowledge is that information is technical or theoretical know how of any subject whereas knowledge is awareness about how, where, when and why to use that information. For instance a person having degree in physics might have vast information about atomic energy but it is true knowledge and Education which teaches a person that this information should be used for development of human kind and not for its destruction.

Education brings all round development of human personality i.e. Physical, Psychological and Spiritual development whereas literacy rather than leading to development maintains status quo.

Last but not least Education brings revolution in thinking. It inspires a person to think in unconventional but creative and innovative way. It brings curiosity and rationalism in the thought process. It liberates person from mental slavery of superstitions, bias, disbelieves and outdated rigid social and religious customs.

The greatest problems of the our society has a root cause that is illiteracy. Illiteracy is a term that does not merely signifies the lack of education in the society. There is a vast difference between being literate and being educated. A literate person may read write and understand but it is not necessarily aware, responsible. The problem is we are turning into literate society instead of educated society. Education includes and turns a person into visionary, intellectual and rationale entity. That is what the need of the hour is. Reading and writing is not good enough we need to comprehend and logically interpretive the situation. We are too much inclined over rampant increase of the literacy rate but the point is  this what we want our society to be……we are turning into inhuman and moral less community. Just being literate won’t help the cause we need be aware as well that is what the motive of the education is is all about. We need to increase and widen the meaning of education. Along with literacy we need to include moral values among the young. We must turn into an aware educated class rather just being an ordinary literate society with no thought process. The choice is all ours think what we must be, what we can be and what we are …..THE CHOICE IS ALL OURS

Nature Of Humans And You Can't Change Human Nature Agree with Abraham Lincoln's

Fundamental dispositions and traits of humans. Theories about the nature of humankind form a part of every culture. In the West, debate has traditionally centred on whether humans are selfish and competitive or social and altruistic . Recent research in genetics, evolutionary biology, and cultural anthropology suggests that humans may be both, and that there is a complex interaction between genetically inherited factors (“nature”) and developmental and social factors (“nurture”). Basic drives shared with other primates include food, sex, security, play, and social status. Gender differences include greater investment in reproduction and child-rearing among females, hence less risk-taking; and concomitantly less investment and greater risk-taking among males.
The study of the interaction of heredity and environment insofar as they affect behaviour. The question of the determinants of behaviour, commonly called the “nature-nurture” controversy, was initially investigated by English scientist Sir Francis Galton. A balanced view that recognized the importance of both genetics and environment prevailed in the 1970s. Modern research is focused on identifying genes that affect behavioral dimensions, such as personality and intelligence, and disorders, such as depression and hyperactivity. Two quasi-experimental methods of study, the twin method and the adoption method, are used to quantify the genetic and environmental contributions to an individual's behaviour.

It is probably true that all human beings are born with the instinct of self-preservation and reproduction. Their need for food, clothing, shelter, and sexual love is basic. That much, it may be admitted, is "human nature." But the way they go about satisfying these desires is not necessarily the way that is common in capitalist society—it depends, rather, on the way suited to the particular culture they are born into. If the basic needs of man can be satisfied only by knocking the other fellow down, then we can assume that human beings will knock each other down; but if the basic needs of man can be better satisfied by cooperation, then it is also safe to assume that human beings will cooperate.

We can change our habits but we can’t change our nature. 
 

Stress Can Affect The Pregnant Women Fetus

"Women's emotional performing during pregnancy -- their anxiety level, stress, individuality -- ultimately affects the temperament of their babies. It has to ... the baby is awash in all the chemicals produced by the mom."

So, how does a mom's tension get passed on to her fetus? Research workers aren't exactly sure which stress responses play the largest role, but it's clear that when a pregnant woman encounters anxiety, her body produces chemicals that affect the baby, too. Her nervous system, for instance, stimulates the release of epinephrine and norepinephrine, stress hormones that constrict blood vessels and reduce oxygen to the uterus.Since a very significant decrease in blood flow is most likely necessary to compromise the growth of the fetus.

Another stress reaction is more likely to affect fetal growth and pre-term labor. That is, when pregnant women practical experience stress, particularly in the first trimester, the placenta increases production of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which manages the duration of pregnancy and fetal maturation.

CRH is one of the most exciting recent technological discovery that could explain why women go into labor when they do. Called the "placental clock," CRH levels calculated in the mother's blood early in pregnancy -- between 16 and 20 weeks -- can predict the onset of labor months later. Those with the highest levels will likely deliver prematurely, and those with lowest levels are apt to deliver past their due dates.

And it seems to be that stressful events occurring during the first trimester are most critical in signaling early labor. "That's very important because it used to be thought precisely the opposite -- that women become fragile as term approaches. Indeed, our data suggest that women become psychologically stronger,"

"It appears we will be able to show that anxiety in pregnant women early in pregnancy leads to an early rise in CRH, which then leads to an early delivery," she says. "What we can't do yet is diagnosed which women is most at risk. But we're close, and very soon it will be appropriate for women to be asking their doctors if their level of stress should be assessed systematically."

Like most women, Pomerance had no idea how much stress could put her over the edge. "I was under your everyday type of anxiety. I thought that I would do it all, plus work out every day at the gym. Now I tell anyone who's pregnant to slow down a bit."

That's what makes health vendors so reluctant to emphasize the connection between stress and pregnancy problems. They say a lot of the differences come down to the women's personalities and how they cope with stress. Besides, who wants to lay even more guilt and anxiety on a woman who is already stressed?

"Stress can be lots of things," she says. "What you'll see in the literature (are) these lists of life events -- 'Did somebody die? Did you lose your job?' But those events are not what's leading to early delivery. What I see in our work that's leading to early delivery is being a generally anxious person ... for instance, a lot of fear about the pregnancy and delivery."
