About 35 years ago**, as part of a "General Studies" course we spent some sessions talking about "Violence in Society". I can't really remember many of the details, but I do remember there was a small correlation between poor education and violent behaviour, but you'd be hard put to it to make that "cause and effect". There WAS a far greater connection between poverty and violent behaviour, I recall.
** I was a very precocious 5 year old, or something.....
No, I don't think it has to with education and much as economics and upbringing. Desperate people become more violent. Yes, I realize there is a correlation between economics and education, But if you can get through high school you can learn a trade and make a good living. Unfortunately there is a section of society who generationally are told no one wants them. That isn't true, If people from anywhere are willing to work, they will be hired.
A college teacher told me the more education you have the more choices in life u have. I beleive that. Alot of this violence is nothing but fear, fear of no money nothing they can buy no job
I have no experience with that.
But one thing education can do is give someone a sense of future that might help them avoid making bad choices because the present is all they see.
At least that is what I have been thinking after watching a number of Homicide Hunters on cable with Lt Joe Kenda's commentary.
One persons experience does not
dictate another.
No, it depends on the person behaviour. Lack of education is not the reason for violence.
Didn't find the answer you were looking for?
