Sensible Literacy


The words Literacy, Education are "the" important building blocks of a responsible community. I have many examples where everything bottle downs to this single word.

Imagine a farmer who is a illiterate. The farmer works very hard to get his family going in the pathway of life. One day this farmer some how got inspired by seeing the landlord's son and started sending his son to the nearby village school to avoid the hard-man ship he is facing and wants to educate his son. This Inspiration of the farmer can be be the key turning point for the farmer and his family. Because the educated son can at least in some way or the other help the farmer in making correct decisions for the future of the farmer's family. You may wonder how?
This educated son for example can inspire his father to go and talk to the near by agricultural department for the profitable crops and simple ways to increase yields which means that he can introduce his father to the modern techniques to agriculture. He can ask his father to take advantage of the banks which lend loans to farmers at a lower interest rates. He can also inspire the family to select the right village leader or any other true political leader for the betterment of his village and indirectly his family. There are many other instances which i can say can lead to the betterment of the farmer's family because of his educated son. The story equally applies to the farmer's daughter.

Now deviating for the actual topic, there is an important catch to the above story written very ideally. I believe a fair amount of farmer's sons and daughters are educated. This significant amount of the farmers sons and daughters least care about the family's prospects after they are educated and are on their own. I know that they cannot be asked to study or get educated only to help their father's/ families work. They have every right to develop their own ideas and ideals for life. The only other thing which they cannot do is just ignoring his/her family's work ship. They should in some way or the other contribute and help develop their own family business while doing or developing their own prospects. On the other hand the farmer who was earlier doing the job in agriculture cannot stop doing his own business and start depending solely on his son/daughter. This balance responsibilities in conjunction with education and literacy in an sensible way can do magic in an community or in fact in any economically growing country or democracy

The above story and ideas applies to any business. Many great business in the world in the started in a family or small community and started growing while helping build the community around it. The path which i believe those people must have taken to develop good business is the path of literacy and education like the above story. Finally to say a literate knows the difference between good/bad, right/wrong, necessary/Unnecessary. The day from which he stops thinking like this he inadvertently becomes illiterate even if he has peak education qualification. Education must be incorporated in an sensible and responsible way.
