Attitude Or Education As Synonyms
Of A Better Life Style?

Attitude or education as synonyms of a better
life style?
Have you ever thought about the kind of
education that people can access in the
different places of the world? It could be
more common to know about the way to
teach in México because we are living here,
but what about other places like Switzerland
and Venezuela? In this essay I want to share
information that caught my attention while I
was researching on internet.
First I am going to talk about Switzerland.
What I found is that education standards are
high; on the one hand, people make an effort
to reach goals and increase the possibilities
to have a better life style, but this is not the
only reason, actually, the most important
thing is the motivation of the person, and why
the motivation? Well, the reason is that this
process guides and maintains people goal
oriented, and this is what makes a contrast
with Venezuela.
On the other hand is Venezuela, that has not
a high standard of education and the reason
is that Venezuelan people have no strong
internal motivations to have a better lifestyle,
and currently they consider the school like a
resource to teach culture that helps to promote
the rational use of natural resources as a main
objective.
if we talk about Switzerland and Venezuela
we can see that both have different ideas, but I
think that they could be used together as a new
psychology of education that complements one
another.
In conclusion I can say that some people think
that education is one of the most important
tools around the world, and the position that
I have is that the informal education helps
you to have more knowledge trough your own
32
experience, because it is related with the
daily activities such as work, family and
friends. That does not mean that formal
education has no importance, however
as a student of psychology I know that
motivation is the crucial element in setting
and attaining goals. So, no matter if you use
motivation to share culture information or
to increase your lifestyle. What is important
is that you feel comfortable making and
obtaining what you want and no the things
that others expect from you…. because
finally only each one of us knows what we
need and the kind of lifestyle that we want
to have.
