Saturday, January 14th, 2023, the Department of Sociology, in collaboration with Daratoo School, organized a community activity that was led by Suren Akram Hamanajim, a university lecturer from the Lebanese French University’s College of Law and International Relations, Department of Sociology. During the event, Mr. Hamanajim expounded upon the significant impact that education can have on individuals, both personally and professionally.
He highlighted several benefits of education, including enhanced cognitive abilities, improved employment prospects, increased social mobility, enhanced personal development, and improved civic engagement. Specifically, education can improve an individual’s critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, thereby enabling them to better analyze situations and make informed choices. Moreover, education can lead to greater job opportunities, higher salaries, and better job security, which can ultimately contribute to a more stable economic standing and improved quality of life.
Education can also foster personal development by instilling a sense of self-awareness, self-confidence, and personal responsibility, leading to better mental health, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of purpose. Additionally, education can promote greater civic engagement by empowering individuals with knowledge and information, enabling them to become more informed and engaged citizens. This can, in turn, lead to increased participation in the democratic process and a more active role in shaping society.
In conclusion, Mr. Suren Hamanajim emphasized that education can have a profound and transformative impact on individuals, equipping them with new skills, advancing their careers, and enabling them to lead more fulfilling lives.
