Some say the purpose of education is to prepare individuals to be useful to society. othes say the purpose of education is to achieve personal ambitions. discuss both views and give ur own opinion.

As being a pharmacy trained, a hard skilled student, unfortunately, I have to side in with the view that education is to be useful in as the society. In the meantime, I don't deny the very concept that education is for personal aspirations. This might contradicts each other at the first glance but it's actually the two sides of a coin. Here are some reasons.

First of all, society needs various talented protege to thrive and function well. From technology development, medical care, and administrative support, to crime controling, justice realiztion. Everone has his role in the civil government. Education makes sure every citizen fit into the complex institution.

Second, every individual has his or her own will to acheive the best they can in the overwelming civilization. Howerver, it doesn't absolutely mean the pursuit per se is solely an action of self-catering career plan. Self-realizaiton for everyone also benefits the wholesome society, since the society is consisted by every individual. If everyone is put on the right position and humbly maneuver their duty well and sound, the society could be function as a cogwheel working smoothly.

Third, everyone needs resources investment or even extra social facilitaiton when growing up. After we become a adult, it is our responsibility to incoporate ourselves in the context of the community as a member to return back and contribute. The willfulness and selfishnes is inevitable, but it would be better if the majority of us shows some empathy and care about the minorities.
