Critical Thinking:
Here, the writer says that education develops us physically, mentally and emotionally. He also says that education also provides respect to the people. To a great extent it is good. I completely agree with him. But we also see that rich people are also ruling over educated people. To get respect education plays an important role but for this the leaders of the country should also be well-educated. Only then educated people get respect otherwise it is not possible.
-
Assimilation:
After reading this text. I completely agree with Moti Nissani. In fact education develops us physically, mentally and emotionally. I remembered my past days. My parents were from poor family, they didn’t have expenditure to support family members. My parents sent me college working hard and I got higher education at college and university. Then I could improve my father’s economic condition. Nowadays everyone gives us respect in the society but in the past they behaved us differently. So I completely agree with Moti Nissani. Now I can do something for my family, society and nation.
