<p>I think that one of the most important aspects of an education is a knowledge of history and what has happened before in a civilization so that mistakes are not repeated.</p>
<p>I also think an educated person should be aware that people suffering from serious mental illnesses are unable to help themselves and need help from health care professionals in the same way that those who are physically ill need them. I have known too many emotionally healthy people who think that mentally ill people should be able to just “snap out of it” or change their “attitude”.</p>
