Inside Out is a 2015 American 3D movie produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. It tells us an interesting story of emotions and is quite popular with both children and adults today. Here is some information for you.
Director: Pete Docter
Language: English
Released on: June 19, 2015
Main characters: a girl called Riley, five personified emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust.
Story: The girl called Riley was born in Minnesota and is a sunny and outgoing girl. In her mind, there live five personified emotions: Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger. Each has different work to do: Joy makes sure that the girl is happy, Fear keeps her safe, Anger keeps her life fair and Disgust stops her from being poisoned*. They usually work together to help Riley enjoy the beautiful life. But Sadness is not sure about her work. She could do nothing but make Riley cry.
When Riley turns eleven, her family moves to San Francisco because her father gets a new job there. The little girl has to live in a new place and get on with new classmates. Then something bad happens. Because of the working problem of the five emotions, Riley becomes difficult and often gets angry easily. Everyone is worried about that…
How could they solve the problem? Go to the cinema and find the answer by yourself!
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people don't have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
So what is education for? Education is well—rounded and it should improve a man in many ways. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative* thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all, take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.
