...education and justice? hey everyone
this is my paper topic
Discuss the relationship between education and justice in The Republic.
this is what i wrote, and i need seroius revision along with some critiques, so i really need ppl to revise my essay!!!

Education and justice are connected; they are symbiotic in that they are the vital links in the chains that keep the ‘perfect’ city from being torn apart. When education is implemented correctly, justice can then be fully utilized to its fullest extent to devise the ideal city. This relationship between education and justice is that they are the driving force that leads us on the quest to living the best and just life. This goal is synonymous with the goals of philosophy. The ruler of the city does not govern these goals, however the master of the city lies within the soul of each man in himself. The man must willingly and knowingly seek this power himself, even if the man by himself would not know where to start. With his education and sense of justice, he is now on the path to seeking the Forms and ultimate nirvana. While on this quest, he will be surely to bump into the opinions of others whom will try to force their opinions on this man and to make sure he strays from his path. However this man will not be perversed by their opinions because he seeks the things that are, not that are opined. (505d) His insatiable hunger for the knowledge of the good, leads man to challenge himself to higher and higher, until he reaches the ceiling of his mortal life, death. As long as he is on this quest, it doesn’t matter that he never reaches an understanding of the Forms in his lifetime, as long as he has lived a meaningful, moderate, and virtuous life; he has fulfilled the goal of living life to the fullest. (592b)
If we were to give life to the idea and concept of education and justice, it would be the equivalent of DNA and mRNA, respectively. Education is the perfect template through which contains this wholesome knowledge that needs to be transcribed in the souls of the citizens. What justice then does is the role of messenger RNA; justice is transcribed from education and extensively processed with the purpose of carrying the coding information for the synthesis of the city. With this restrictive coding information, the guardians are molded and taught in the same way to have the same morals and way of thinking to serve the cities’ life purposes and survivability. Since justice comes forth through the aid of education, education will always have this obligation to justice. Justice is tailored by education to ensure that the city is on that harmonious balance. Without the cooperation between the two, communication between the two will be disrupted and information will never be disseminated. Therefore the union of education and justice is a quintessential element. What everyone is taught is the myth of metals. This noble lie is able to make everyone believe (or at least the masses and the guardian class) that everyone is born to the same mother earth, and everyone is each other’s brothers and sisters. This noble lie is naturally propagated and not mandated by the regime, allowing this lie to mutually understood by all the citizens. This noble lie eliminates factions and hatred among this race of people because everyone has a moral obligation to defending each other, the regime, education and justice.
The intermediary and the catalyst between the two is unity, without this there is no ideal city to refer to in the creation of new societies and cities. If there is no unity, justice cannot function without education. Due to the unity that these two concepts bring about, it’s essential that education and justice go hand-in-hand with each other. In the absence of this intermediary, countries and societies can be torn apart by civil war. Such examples of these include China and Taiwan, the American Civil War, and the ongoing conflict between North Korea and South Korea. Evidently, all the conflicts between each of these two boil down to differences in their fundamental way of thinking. Even a slight change in a countries’ education can lead to a huge change in primary structures of nations, such as the replacement of a single protein in the primary structure of a blood cell can cause sickle-cell disease. The conflicting ideas between North and South Korea stem from the occupation of these countries, as Korea was liberated from Japanese occupation. What majorly divided Korea was the former Soviet Union occupying the North and the United States occupying the South; these occupations eventually hardened into spheres of influence. Now the North models after a communist regime, while the South is modeled in a capitalistic regime. These two totally different regimes could obliterate each other, all due to the differences between their fundamental basics in their regimes. If there is no unity between the justice and education, then how do we know that there can be stability in society
apparently, my paper wont fit on this, so ill be forced to email it for revision, need seiorus help plz!!!
 
Very nice...but what if man is not willing? What if man knowingly will not seek this power himself? What if man by himself would not know where to start? Will man be oppressed by justice then? Will man be forced to seek these things? Oh well, there's always divorce, right!0!

Good luck!
