Essay 3

Article Link: of studies
By: Sir Francis Bacon

Central Argument: Sir Francis Bacon is trying to say that studies can be useful to every person in the world by serving as an inner joy for some people, a knowledge to brag about for some people and a talent that can be used to be judgmental and critical by other people .

Studies are very important in any person's life. An educated person is always considered superior over an uneducated person. Some people realize the importance of studies while others don't. Different people have different perspectives to look upon things. Studies are one of the most important things that will help make a person an aware global citizen. Studies can offer a solution to every problem. I agree with Sir Francis Bacon that studies can help every person in life to tackle his or her problems because of its various uses.

Studies help some people to be judgmental and critical. These critical people, thus, can change something in the world by using their studies. Mahatma Gandhi was a lawyer who had completed his education in South Africa. He was learned and caring. He used his studies to criticize the apartheid (racial discrimination) system in South Africa and fight against the British to gain independence for India. He was critical about the government and argued on the basis of his studies. He was judgmental about the policies of the government and openly expressed it. It was his studies that allowed him to be judgmental and fight the oppressive system in South Africa and India. Studies could also have been useful to the colored Africans and Indians who were discriminated against. If they were educated, they could have created a change or found a solution to their problem. But as they were uneducated, they did nothing to oppose the government and improve their condition.

Studies help some people brag about themselves and thus try to be superior. It can help people who want to stand out in life, improve their standing. Rahul Gandhi is one Indian politician who is a living example of this. He has completed his education from universities like Harvard, St. Stephens, Rollins and Cambridge University. Thus he can brag about having a vast array of knowledge in the field of politics. This helps strengthen his logos and makes his arguments successful. People start listening to him because they believe that whatever he says is right. Therefore he has become a successful politician in such a small time. If people are educated they can use their education to impress others. It can help them get a good job or take better decisions. The will help their social and economic life.

Studies helps some people by providing them with inner satisfaction. For many intellectuals studies provide an inner joy which they can experience in seclusion, away from the world. Many people love Theodore Roosevelt because of the his intellectuals ideas that guided USA's Progressive Era during the early 20th century. But what a lot of people did not know about him was that he loved reading. The "trust-buster" was an avid reader who enjoyed the company of books. He read a lot and believed that reading gave him a feeling of inner joy. I also know a girl who loves reading books. She has read a lot of books throughout her life. But she never tries to show that in front of anybody. Whenever she reads a book, its as if she is lost in another world. She enjoys reading books because she feels that it takes her away from the real world and lets her have a nice lonely, peaceful and enjoyable time. Reading books and studying can help provide people with knowledge and inner satisfaction. If people all over the world start studying and reading books they might fight something which will interest them. This will not only help them improve their knowledge, but also provide them with something to turn to when sad. It will provide them inner joy and happiness.

Studies are one of the most important things to any person's life. It is the key to all problems. Different people are there all over the world. Some are educated, some are not. Studies are useful for all these people no matter in whatever way. Education is one of the key ingredients to success. Studies helps a person become educated and thus achieve success. So no matter whether a person is a student or a 45-year man, they should realize that studies will always help them and its never too late to study.
