The Foundation of Education

The foundation of education, whereas others believe that logical reasoning should be the foundation of education. Undoubtedly, logical reasoning is one of the core bases of education. Nevertheless, morality is the real base of education, which turns into logical thinking. 

Consequently, I would generally disagree with the opinion that logical reasoning should be the foundation of education for forming a moral society and would argue that morality is the foundation of education.


   First of all, when a baby borns he or she has no sense of morality and logical thinking. After getting older two or three years old, he or she becomes prepared to learn some knowledge, and we all know that an infant likes to imitate. His or her parents can teach him or her many lessons that are all moral lessons rather than logical reasoning because a child cannot think logically. 

I would like to specify that, logical power of thinking Is developing with time and obviously gradually. For more clarity, let us look at an example. A two-year-old baby can easily learn that he or she should not attack or use slang bad words to the other child. But that child is incapable of thinking why this behavior is bad because they lack logical thinking. 

In these circumstances, the above example pointedly illustrates that logical thinking takes time, whereas moral lessons can be taught in the primary stage of education. Hence, it is obvious that morality is the foundation of education and can form a moral society.

    Secondly, logical thinking is varying man to man. For example, bad work is considered differently from one man to another. For more clarity, taking bribes is bad work. But if someone thinks that they take bribes and for that, they help the giver. In this case, the bribes taker can not think logically that this type of work should be avoided at any cost. 

Thus, incorporating both common sense and personal perception has told us that logical thinking can not be the foundation of a moral society. All the evidence above elucidates that morality can be the foundation of education and moral society. 

   Admittedly, logical thinking is needed to form a moral society. This is absolutely true when it comes to the specific application or area. For example, suppose someone's mother is very sick, and for this reason, he or she is going to their homes for looks after his or her mother in the meantime. 

In that case, he or she observes that a pedestrian is committed an accident, but that is not a serious accident. He or she can logically think about the scenario. Without helping the pedestrian, he or she is continuing their journey towards home. 

Here, if he morally thinks, it is essential to help the person who just committed an accident, but in logical thinking, they have to help her mother first. However, the presented argument does not constitute sufficient support to claim that logical thinking is the foundation of education or needs to be the key factor to form a moral society. Because morality is that type of education that should be learned in childhood. 

    In conclusion, although to form a moral society, logical reasoning can help but this can not be the foundation of education and hence the
