WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE EDUCATED
What does it mean to be educated, or to be a person of education? These expressions usually mean something quite different today than they did a century or two ago. The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary gives several definitions for the word educate, including "to train by formal instruction and supervised practice especially in a skill, trade, or profession" and "to develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically especially by instruction." In today’s fast paced world, emphasis is usually placed on the first definition.
