Answer to Question 2

Education is the social institution responsible for the systematic transmission of

knowledge, skills, and cultural values within a formally organized structure. Education

is a powerful and influential force in contemporary societies. As a social institution,

education imparts values, beliefs, and knowledge considered essential to the social

reproduction of individual personalities and entire cultures. Education grapples with

issues of societal stability and social change, reflecting society even as it attempts to

shape it. Education serves an important purpose in all societies. At the microlevel,

people must acquire the basic knowledge and skills they need to survive in society. At

the macrolevel, the social institution of education is an essential component in

maintaining and perpetuating the culture of a society across generations. Cultural

transmission is the process by which children and recent immigrants become

acquainted with the dominant cultural beliefs, values, norms, and accumulated

knowledge of a society.
