Education and freedom are inextricably linked. In order to be truly deemed as a free productive human being globally, it is important to broaden the sense of knowledge that a person obtains. People are still enslaved by ignorance today. Being enslaved is due to an individual’s social standing in society, lacking a proper education in a certain profession, and having a desolate amount of mental desire to become more enlightened. Due to an individual’s social standing in society, a person may lack some freedoms granted in a higher class or vice versa. The opportunities open to people in our society do not always match those in the different social classes. Growing up in a higher class can cause contrasting views towards education. Obtaining advanced and proper schooling can be more feasible because of the expenses that come along with having any type of degree. With financial stability, most upper class citizens see education as an unquestionable aspect of life, and it is expected.

In result of not being as educated as necessary in a profession, a person could be ignorant to what is actually true. Having improper knowledge, or the lack thereof, in a specific career can disperse closed-minded, ignorant ways of problem solving or creating solutions. For instance, a doctor believing only one certain diagnosis based on strictly what he or she knows without listening to outside opinions of others. The common expectations and assumptions that the general public possess are that people are well-rounded in their department. Becoming complacent and restricting oneself from expanding the range of knowledge can be detrimental because it can bring upon ignorance. Ignorance prevents changes from being made. In certain fields, a person can become mindless to other’s opinions by only focusing on their own beliefs and learnings. A person then cannot see past their single source of information thus creating a sense of tunnel vision. In addition to resisting adequate education in a person’s occupation, an individual can lack the aspirations to gain knowledge and adapt to what is already known. Having a
