In the modern society, education that directly influences the quality of people's life becomes more and more important to people no matter they are old or young. What's your opinion of education today? A hot and important controversy centering on the issue concerns whether people are easier to become educated today than in the past. A fair proportion of people oppose that, other people, nevertheless, advocate that. As far as I'm concerned, I side with the latter for the following reasons.

First, mentioning the learning resources, everyone could say that there are countless resources for people nowadays to obtain knowledge without any doubt. These resources, including education organizations and Internet, provide people with the opportunity to become educated efficiently. For example, I was writing my homework one day and came across the concept of inflation which I don't understand. Immediately, I opened my computer, connected to the Internet, input the word "inflation" into computer, and googled it. As a result, I got not only the interpretation of the concept, but also elaborated examples and information relating to "inflation". Internet makes me improve my learning efficiency because I don't have to look up books or bother my professors when meeting some puzzles. Another example is that lots of education organizations such as New Oriental help us to be educated whenever we need in our life.

Second, facing the society full of competition, we need to catch up with other people and even to create advantages to surpass others. Many people are forced to acquire necessary certificates, such as English certificate and computer certificate, resulting from the entering requirement of many jobs. Even after getting a job, people still have to accept many kinds of training offered by companies or by themselves. In a word, people are driven to be educated because of stress from the society. For example, my classmates in the university are all learning hard in order to improve their competitive power and to find satisfied jobs after graduating from university. One of my roommates wants to work in a research institution. After she learns how difficult to enter such an institution, she reads professional books in the library every day and writes paper, just hoping to realize her dream. Under such a society full of big competition and stress, people find that they obtain knowledge unconsciously.

However, in some certain situations, there are still some advantages and conveniences for people living in the past to be educated. Learning in some special fields, such as nature, people could observe and do experiments more easily in the neighborhood that isn't influenced so much by human interruption. For instance, people are able to study birds or insects just walking outside directly without having to drive a long distance. A better environment saves them much time to be educated.

Slogan:"Economy matters a lot and education pays off in the long run." With these words in mind, it is easier as well as more rewarding for people to get an education now than in the past. Obviously, both the recent economic improvements and the future economic successes are factors that contribute to making more people better educated for higher employability and better wages.

To start with, education in modern society is meant to be beneficial to as many persons as possible rather than to just a lucky few ones. In this sense, it may partly be the fruits of the dramatic economic changes in the past decades, and partly the reflection that the ability to read and write is more demanding these days. Therefore, in order to educate more people to meet the forth-coming economic challenges, new schools and colleges are being established and old ones are being expanded. The logic is simple. The more economy develops, the more investments there are in education, and the easier it is for people to become better educated. The significance of education in today's economy reveals the big picture that education at all levels is largely available, even though sometimes higher education may not be entirely affordable.

That picture supports the correlation between educational attainment and employment potentials. Although an education has always been an advantage, it is more valuable now than before. The panorama is like a virtuous cycle brought about by the economic improvements along with better living standards. The more people are educated, the better are their chances of getting hired, and the more likely they are to earn more, which in turn makes it easier for them to send their children to and through university education. Further, as the job market has become more competitive with each passing decade, the number of people with bachelor's degrees or higher has increased. Likewise, it is evident that as the economic rewards continue to increase, so will the number of people seeking those rewards, of course.

In the context of the economic improvements and economic rewards, an education has not only been valuable but also has become easily accessible. When it comes to combining money and learning, more is better and better is more; so people now are easier to become educated. Paradoxically, for that matter, just as the causes may lead to the effects, the effects may also lead to the causes.
