Education is a purposeful activity directed towards achieving certain objectives, such as transmitting knowledge or promoting skills and character traits. These objectives may include the development of understanding, rationality, kindness and honesty. Various researchers emphasize the role of critical thinking in separating education from education. Some theorists require that education results in the improvement of the student while others prefer a value-neutral definition of the term. In a slightly different sense, education may refer not to the process, but to the product of the process: the mental state and disposition of educated people. Education originated as the transfer of cultural heritage from one generation to another. Today, educational goals increasingly incorporate new ideas such as the emancipation of learners, skills essential to modern society, empathy, and complex business skills.
