Education makes machines that act like men and produces men who act like machines." Erich Fromm.

This is actually a mind blowing sentence, that need some logical thinking, I would do my little best to come up with some backed up my writeup to do justice to the above quote. thanks to @josevas217 and @project.hope community for organizing such a contest.

To make the above quote more simpler I would like to break down the quote into two sentence.

  1. Education makes machines that act like men.

Human race are the brain behind machines we see today no machine actually came into existence on it own one way or the other it was built by men and man is the master mind behind all existing machine.

In general from educational research or man's curiosity to know more explore more bring about man searching for knowledge which is education and from such knowledge machine where invented.

  1. Education produces men who act like machine.

The driving factor that makes man curious to know more and learn more by all means drives men to act like machines.

I don't know if I'm making sense here, I sure do know through ages men have been seeking for power and power is education which can equally make man act like machine.

Combining these statements together makes everything looks like a circle ⭕ men revolves around education atmosphere always in search for knowledge.

On the other hand these knowledge lead man to start acting like machine why because curiosity can make a man think out of the box can make a man behave abnormal making him not to think alright.

what do you think about education

Education when used properly is quite resourceful and good generally for development in any country when it is utilized in proper way I think it's good.

The question is what is the definition of "Good" in this context.

Making war machine seems good to some people and other way around could be bad, making nuclear power plant could be good and to others it's bad.

All these revolves around education which makes man curious and always in search of new invention, making him to act like machine.

Hello @mccoy02
First, thank you very much for participating in the contest.
It is an important point that you highlight, man is always behind the machines but in a certain way we end up thinking and acting like some of them.
Education often leads us to act in such a way that it seems like a mold that creates people, but, also those who act differently bring new things for everyone.

Thanks much for finding this article quite useful really appreciate stay safe.
