Summary

Despite financial limitations, investing in education brings forth benefits that go beyond mere spending. Education is an invaluable asset that fosters individual growth, economic development, and societal progress. By equipping individuals with knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities, education cultivates future leaders, nurtures innovation, and drives social mobility. It is a catalyst for creating opportunities, reducing inequalities, and building strong and resilient communities. Hence, even during times of budget constraints, understanding the transformative power of education highlights its significance as an essential investment rather than a burdensome cost.

The drive to resist compulsion is more important in wild ani

The drive to resist compulsion is more important in wild animals than sex, food, or water. He found that captive white-footed mice spent inordinate time and energy just resisting experimental manipulation. If the experimenters turned the lights up, the mouse spent his time turning them down. If the experimenter turned the lights down, the mouse turned them up. The drive for competence or to resist compulsion is a drive to avoid helplessness.
