This article is pretty much saying our actions in life are usually determined by the education we get. I think that this is some what true because the more things one knows the better we become in making smarter decisions. If we get involved in educational activities we tend to do better in chosing, a carrier, and the people we hang out with. Therefore, with an education it is easier to chose the positive paths for ourselves in life.
I am going to use this article as part on my side of this argument. This is telling me how it is better to educate people so they get in the right track in life. So if they recieve a poor education it would be more likely that those people remain behind bars for majority, and if not all of their life behind bars.
It's great that you said that with an education they will be able to choose the right path in life and be successfull.
ReplyDeleteMiriam, not necessary by providing an education to criminals that means that criminals are going to rehabilitate or change in life because once they have convicted a crime its most likely that they are going to do another crime.I say this because once you are a criminals you are going to be a criminal for life and you are not going to change from being one.
