Influences of human behavior on EDUcation!

Humans generally have a tendency to divide themselves in groups. I think it is natural to form groups. These grouping can be on the basis of type of similar professions, religion, caste, economic status and these divisions can be extended on human foolishness. The idea behind these groupings were on a positive side of development and each other of their clan to flourish and reach great heights. In India, there is such grouping at all levels. But have they developed? Even after 60 plus years of independence we talk about development of people. This is obvious as we are still a developing nation. So is it relevant from the lower economic status to blame their status for not raising in their life? From the paradox of Zeno, '' the achilles and the tortoise,'' it looks as if the more exposed students have an edge and is difficult to reach their levels of prosperity. 

As Karl Marx says, the people in the higher economic status have greater exposure. Their kids tend to get the best of the education, facilities, food and other basic amenities. On the contrary, people in the lower economic belt dont have the best facilities. They dont even have the basic amenities. When a student from the lower and upper background are competing for an exam, the student from higher economic status has higher tendency to pull it. Let us say the usage of computers and exposure to other reading materials, which surely gives the kid an head start. It can be also possible that the lower economic child might have greater intellectual skills and may be in future they might be nurtured well. 

There are many crucial factors that go into a child's education. The student development theory best supports this issue. Dualism, multiplicity, relativism, commitment, cultural and ethnic, parents' involvement, and political influences are a few to mention. Enthusiastic and passionate teachers will stand out to be great motivators and pacifiers towards the development of education. Government plays a vital role into the education system of any given country. India is definitely leaping forward towards competing with the rest of the world.  Lets take the pride to make our country proud!
