The value of education in the contemporary landscape of global society - a sociological perspective in the EU.
What is the value of education in society? In general, if we were to ask about this question, the majority of the answers would probably indicate that we all value education, we attach importance to it, considering it to be responsible for the changes that take place at the higher levels of the ontological and axiological. In almost any kind of democratic society, one of the fundamental ideas is that in order to be successful a person needs education, and higher education is seen by many as a powerful variable in the equation describing social ascent. Concerns caused by the all too rapid pace of technological change now seem to diminish hope for a predictable future, however, and the paradigm that hard work, coupled with educational stock, leads to social climbing now seems to be invalidated. Where countries are more developed and where income inequality seems to be a very important factor, things seem to be changing. Added to the equation of confidence, competence is ethical behavior, suggesting that in the current context it is no longer just a question of what you do, but also how you do it. In these circumstances, what is the value of education in contemporary European society?
