Education and Technological
Education and Technological Contemporary Issues 1. Introduction By using technology in schools, we can create a world in which students are no longer passive receptacles of knowledge conveyed by a teacher or textbook. In addition to simply making the educational process more enjoyable for students, the use of technology can have a number of positive effects on how and what students learn. For instance, today's visual and audio tools can provide students with easy access to complex ideas, and thus they can explore and interact with these ideas in a way that is more meaningful to them. Technologies can also provide new ways of learning and understanding that are not reliant upon the constraints of traditional schooling. For example, students can work individually at their own pace, and if they are confused or stuck on a certain concept, they can access a variety of instructional resources (such as online tutorials or interactive simulations) that present the concept in different ways. Student dropout rates and failure may be reduced if technology could be used to creatively transform the ways in which students learn, and also provide realistic career preparation, as well as increased knowledge about the global society. Given that the future of the world is in today's students, it is necessary, if not imperative, that they become fluent and skilled users of technology. This can be accomplished if a technologically literate citizenry is the goal.

Book Review: Grit - By Angela Duckworth
By Angela Duckworth In "grit," Angela Duckworth explores the intangible yet powerful trait that pushes individuals beyond their innate talent to achieve remarkable success. Unlike the traditional view that success is born from talent or intelligence, Duckworth posits that grit—a unique blend of passion and perseverance—is the real key to high achievement. Drawing on her own pioneering research in psychology, interviews with high achievers, and insights from various disciplines, Duckworth presents a compelling argument that anyone can cultivate grit. Below is a summary that endeavors to capture the essence of each chapter, mirroring the analytical depth akin to the works of Robert Greene, focusing on the strategies and underlying principles that make grit such a potent force in achieving success.

ROLE OF EDUCATION IN SOCIETY
The Role of Education in Society 1. Importance of Education Davis and Moore (cited in Emerson et al., 2012) took this idea and expanded on it, arguing that education also acts as a means of role allocation and promotion of social stratification, in part by sorting students according to aptitude and later fast-tracking for more bright students. Their theory was that by educational achievement in relation to economic success has come to function as the key social stratification, and allocation of jobs and placement within society begins with the earliest years of schooling and continues all the way to tertiary education. While conflict theory purports that only the elite of society will have access to high status knowledge and education, and that education is a way to maintain the status quo; it is still evident that education does indeed perform a role in transitioning individuals in and out of different social classes or status groups. This represents fairly directly the idea that education also seeks to equip the individual with knowledge and awareness of roles to play in society, and how to participate in the social processes that affect them.
