Snehal brought up a very interesting point (or better yet, reiterated a point that he made in the beginning of the semester); we would be able to look at our own education and being to question the influence that it has had in our lives, and how much we are affected by our education. I thought it was interesting that you can connect it in that way. I mean, obviously, we are not being colonized by an outside force, but education can cause a tension within ourselves.
I know I have most definitely changed since I began my journey into "higher education". Some of my opinions have altered, as well as the way I communicate and the way that I interact with others. And there have been times when I will meet someone that I used to know, and not really know how to interact with them anymore. And as was brought up in class today, is that really because we "outgrow" people, or is that a result of our education? I personally think that we naturally progress as we grow older. But at the same time, education can cause tensions around us and within us. But if we realize that education can cause tension within/around us, isn't that in a way overcoming it?
