essay about educated man

Educated Man by Henry Norman

John Henry Newman, the author of the essay entitled The Educated Man begins his essay in a way that was very contradictory to his times. He opens his essay boldly declaring that A University is not a birthplace to poets or immortal authors, of founders of schools, leaders of colonies, or conquerors of nations. In essence, what he is saying is that the university is not the birthplace of an educated man. This thought helps highlight his purpose for the remainder of the essay, to provide a pure definition, untainted by society, of hat a true educated man is, as opposed to what he was considered in the Victorian Period.

I strongly agree with his essay, and its function of requiring the paper-machier-and-chicken-wire educated man of the Victorian Age to become molded of real substance. The essay continues to say [A university] does not promote a generation of Aristotles or Newtons, of Raphaels or Shakespeares Nor is it content on the other hand with forming the critic or experimentalist, the economist or engineer. This statement helps defend Newmans case. The ames mentioned were all men who in some way changed the world.

Those of them who did receive a University diploma do not owe their success or education to the University they received it from. The task of the university was minimal, the true thing that made them become pinnacles of education was their own love for knowledge, and the traits they possessed as described throughout the rest of the essay. Today, men such as Martin Luther, Albert Einstein, and Charlie Chaplin can be added to the list. Albert Einstein, although considered on of the ost educated men ever, never even finished middle school.

These accounts all make a case for Newman in arguing that the general definition of and educated man- a man who has received diploma and graduation from a college, as incorrect. One trait of Newmans educated man is that he is at home with any society and has common ground with every class. This idea is also contradictory to the thought of the time- that an educated man relates only to other educated men. I side with Newman on this issue also. A true educated man nows he may learn more about the anatomy of a fish from a poor fisherman than a Harvard grad.

He knows he may gain knowledge from all walks of life, and does not limit his knowledge imput to the ideas of just one class. Newman concludes his essay by saying, He has a gift which without which good fortune is but vulgar, and with which failure and disappointment have a charm. The fictional character Jay Gatsby, of Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby was proof of this. He was a man who had acquired good fortune without education, and it was indeed ulgar, as opposed to the charming life of Van Gough, whose artwork, although not rewarded with money during his lifetime, will forever be appreciated.

This view of Newmans was also contradictory of a time whos men would acquire go to a university simply because they have wealth, and who would never see a day of lack because the good fortune of inheritance. The good fortune then becomes unappreciated and vulgar. In dispelling Societys definition, Newman took it upon himself to create a substitute; an unaffected spiritual definition pulled rom the same well that the definition of man in the constitution was pulled.

This essay is still valuable because the idea of an educated man is still a social title rather than a task to complete. He is still stereotyped by what theyve done, rather than what he is. Perhaps the beginning of educated men will remain where it has always begun, in the small cleft of a rock- such as Stratford-upon-Avon or Urbino, Italy, where one learns to ask questions, in pursuit of their answers stumble upon new worlds and ideas alike.

The qualities of a truly educated man

Razzel ann vergara.

February 19, 2017
4 minute read

When you hear the word “educated”, you can surely give your own different definition, like academic, intellectual, literate or knowledgeable. But being educated does not necessarily mean having abundant general or specialized knowledge. It does not only mean having an undergraduate or advanced degree. As Ramsay MacDonald said:

“The educated man is a man with certain subtle spiritual qualities, which make him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of that word in all the affairs of his life.”

If we ponder on with this definition, we can see that education is not only about the accumulation of knowledge, whether professional or vocational, but matters of behavior or values. The acquisition of knowledge is valuable for it makes us virtuous and happy. But we should not use our knowledge merely for material success in life.

Then what are the qualities needed to be remarked as a truly educated man? Let us elaborate on MacDonald’s definition.

An educated person remains calm in adversity. He is self-aware. He knows how to perceive and manage his own internal states of emotions. He has the ability to face and control unpleasant situations instead of being controlled by them. He remains calm even when mistreated by other people who dislike him. He has the ability to conceptualize and solve problems from multiple perspectives. He knows how to resolve conflicts with other persons. He has the flexibility to admit when he is wrong. He has the capacity to endure and persevere. He is not easily defeated by misfortune or failure.

He knows how to withstand discomfort in the short term in order to achieve his goals.

An educated person stays happy even if alone. He is happy and joyful. He has a cheerful disposition most of the time and is willing to share his joy with others. He considers open-mindedness to be a virtue. He values being open to new ideas and opinions and entertain them. He can control his pleasures.

An educated person has ethical values and integrity. He is just in all his dealings. He has the ability and the discipline to do what is right. He is committed to the systematic pursuit of truth. He has the ability to discern truth from error. He does not become arrogant and corrupt by his success and glory.

An educated person is rational and reasonable. He has the ability to reason analytically and critically. He has the ability to think clearly and independently and has good judgment.

He knows how to acquire knowledge and skills and make productive use of it. He is innovative and adaptable to changes. He is devoted to a set of principles. He defends his beliefs and if proved to be inconvenient, he is able to ,debate confidently and calmly. He does not blindly accept what he is being told and knows how to make his own decisions. He is not self-centered. He has equal esteem for everyone, without regard to gender, race, religion, country of origin and so on. He has the ability to see connections among disciplines, ideas and cultures.

He understands human nature and able to maintain and improve relationships. He knows how to cooperate and collaborate effectively with others to get their trust and respect.

An educated person is also a persuasive leader. He has developed a personal philosophy that will allow him to be happy. He has the discipline to constantly improve and the ability to pursue lifelong learning. Summing up, an educated person is someone who has been educated in a holistic manner: spiritually, morally, physically and intellectually.

A person possessing these qualities is admirable, but I was wondering if this can be adopted by the present world. Unfortunately, many of us would abandon this rational argument. But if we were better educated, we would know that an educated person has a commitment to the rational process of finding truth, and a commitment to self-examination and articulation of truth. Last, we would understand our responsibility in helping to remedy the shortcomings of this society.

We have an obligation to make this world a better place than when we found it.

In The Idea of a University, Bl. John Henry Newman claims that “Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another . . . . Liberal Education, viewed in itself, is simply the cultivation of the intellect, as such, and its object is nothing more or less than intellectual excellence.” One may easily infer from these claims that Newman sees the university’s task as purely intellectual rather than moral; that liberal education can aim at intellectual excellence but must leave moral excellence alone. The Idea presents an abstract notion; the Rise and Progress of Universities presents images of the living, concrete reality. And in the latter, one finds that the integrity of the university requires its relation to the Church, in which a liberal education finds its place within the formation of a whole person, including the moral dimension, under the guidance of the Church. Nevertheless, the connection between the moral and the intellectual could be expressed more clearly than Newman’s formulation allows by taking advantages of some resources in Thomas’s account of the intellectual virtues. Put in Thomas’s terms, the Idea seems to claim that the cultivation of science and wisdom, taken in itself, excludes the formation of prudence and the moral virtues it expresses. And his fuller statement in the Rise and Progress might suggest that an education aimed at the development of the whole person, including not only science and wisdom but also prudence, comes about only by the combination of two unlike things. The intellectual life and the moral life, one might think, can be combined but not because of an internal connection between them. But Thomas’s account of the virtue of wisdom as a potential whole comprising all the speculative and—I argue—practical intellectual virtues both preserves Newman’s distinction between these kinds of virtues and shows that the cultivation of wisdom in any form is internally linked to the formation of whole persons in a contemplative, rather than merely gentlemanly, character. The argument moves in four steps. Since Newman’s ideal of a “philosophical habit of mind” and Thomas’s understanding of wisdom both revolve around a perception of the connections between things, I begin with the relation between reason and order in Thomas’s thought. Section two describes the distinctions among the intellectual virtues as diverse habits of ordering, and section three presents them in their unity as members of a potential whole centered on wisdom proper. Finally, in the fourth section, I consider several different “characters” often proposed as legitimate goals for liberal education in our own time in the light of the notion of the intellectual virtues as habits of ordering united in a potential whole.

Although it had not officially closed, the College of William and Mary in Virginia had suspended classes as of 1881. Securing funding for operations with the promise of opening a normal school for men along side the liberal arts program, the College reopened for students in 1888. For several decades, the normal school attracted enough men to keep the institution afloat. Not until 1918 were women admitted to William and Mary, making the institution one of the only normal schools solely for men. This paper discusses the movement of the education program from a central to peripheral position as a result of the needs and visions of its presidents.

Winner of the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain Student Essay Competition 2009 1

The competition question ‘What Does It Mean To Be An Educated Person?’ is associated with a powerful and influential line of thought in the philosophy of R. S. Peters. It is a question that needs always to be asked again. I respond by asking what it means, now, to be an educated person—that is, how the value of being an educated person is currently understood, and, further, how it might be understood differently. The starting point of this paper then is not exactly the question of how we should best conceive of education, or of the educated person, in terms, for example, of initiation or of moral development. Instead I am concerned with who the supposedly educated person is today, according to the particular discourses and practices to which we are subject. I begin, then, by outlining the notion of the entrepreneurial self from the perspective of governmentality, with particular reference to questions of economy and the way in which the economic imperative is present in current policy. I then reconsider the idea of the educated person with reference to notions of economy and visibility as these relate to ideas of education and the self in Plato’s The Republic. Discussion of readings of The Republic and of other texts of Plato by Stanley Cavell and Michel Foucault indicates how prevailing constructions of knowledge, practice, and subjectivity might be resisted. The question of what it means to be an educated person is thereby released from a particular mode of accounting for the self.

What is An Educated Man?

The press--.

Ramsay MacDonald joined a group of "old students" of a workingmen's college at supper in London a few nights ago, and discussed with his sometime comrades the real meaning of education and the definition of the "educated man." Certainly, said this man who has sat in the seat of Gladstone, the educated man is not a "learned man." By this is meant that he is not necessarily educated because he is learned. Nor is he an educated man simply because he is a university man, added this son of a farm laborer who was thrilled last July when the University of Glasgow gave him its degree, the greatest of prizes in the eyes of a Scotchman. A man may be educated for a that and a that.

Here is the educated man, according to the former Prime Minister:

The educated man is a man with certain subtle spiritual qualities which make him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of that word in all the affairs of his life."

Such a man may be as learned as Aristotle, or he may, as Mr. MacDonald said, have difficulty in signing his own name. He may be back in the country somewhere, singing the old folksongs, or talking about his sheep and his dogs, or quoting Burns. This is defining education not in terms of "counts" and "credit" courses, of "majors" and "minors," nor in professional or other vocational achievements, but in simple spiritual and intellectual values. . . . .

Michelle Obama blasts Trump at DNC, references Trump's 'Black jobs' comment

Former First Lady Michelle Obama dug into former President Donald Trump during her speech on the second day of the 2024 Democratic National Convention .

She called out his racist attacks against both former President Barack Obama and Vice President Kamala Harris. Throughout Barack Obama's presidency, Trump repeatedly and publicly doubted Obama’s US citizenship and, recently, questioned Harris’ racial identity

“For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us,” Obama said. “See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be Black.”

“I want to know — I want to know — who’s going to tell him, who’s going to tell him, that the job he is currently seeking might just be one of those Black jobs?” she added, referring to Trump’s recent statements that immigrants are taking “Black jobs .” .

“It’s his same old con. His same old con. Doubling down on ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas and solutions that will actually make people’s lives better,” she said.

Obama also referred to policies promoted by the former president, like limiting abortion and banning books, calling them “small.”

“Going small is the opposite of what we teach our kids. Going small is petty. It’s unhealthy. And quite frankly, it’s unpresidential,” she said. “So, why would any of us accept this from anyone seeking our highest office?”

Democrats at DNC attack Trump on how they say Project 2025 would hurt education in states

Critics say low-income students could suffer in red-state rural schools.

Democrats have made conservatives' controversial Project 2025 and its education agenda a weapon in their attacks against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention.

Dismantling the Department of Education is a key issue for conservatives this election season and is mentioned in the 922-page playbook for the next conservative president. And while Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025, it aligns in many ways with his Agenda 47 platform.

President Joe Biden slammed the Republican vision for education as he addressed the Democratic National Convention on Monday night.

"Donald Trump, and his Republican friends, they not only can't think, they can't read very well," Biden said, adding,"Seriously, think about it. Look at their Project 2025. They want to do away with the Department of Education."

Michelle Obama touched on the subject in her speech the following night: "Shutting down the Department of Education, banning our books -- none of that will prepare our kids for the future."

Trump reiterated his plan for education in his wide-ranging X Spaces interview last week with Elon Musk.

"I want to close up the Department of Education (and) move education back to the states," Trump told Musk's more than 1 million listeners, claiming that the U.S. had fallen to the bottom of rankings among other countries and that states do a better job educating their children without federal mandates.

The U.S. is not ranked at the bottom, as Trump claimed, but due to historic learning loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is close to the bottom half in subjects like math in the most recent Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). Nearly a third of U.S. students also ended last school year behind grade level in at least one academic subject, according to new data released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

It's unclear whether the former president would close the agency and redistribute its funding to states or stop funding it and close it altogether. ABC News has reached out to the Trump campaign but didn't receive a response by time of publication.

Critics of the plan say it would hurt mostly small, rural school systems, many of them in red states.

In an interview with the nonprofit More Perfect Union, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said he would defend public education against defunding because it would exacerbate the "haves and the have-nots." An Education Department official warned that if the agency were shuttered, states would lose a "large chunk" of funding from the feds and state and local governments -- on average about 10%. State and local governments make up roughly 90% of public school funding.

Education finance expert Jess Gartner said school districts with the "highest need" students could take a devastating blow if the federal agency's funding was cut because funding for school districts isn't always equally distributed.

"Those targeted funds were being targeted for a reason," Gartner said.

'I can't find the word 'education' in (the Constitution)'

House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., is one of the most vocal opponents of the department. She raises caregivers' and local school board members' concerns that they shouldn't have to "co-parent" with the government.

Conservatives also reject what they characterize as bureaucrats infusing culture war topics into their kids' school curriculums.

Foxx argued it's unconstitutional for the government to handle state education issues in the first place.

"I can't find the word 'education' in there (the Constitution) as one of the duties and responsibilities of Congress or the federal government," Foxx told ABC News.

That ideology gives way for Trump to work with Foxx and congressional Republicans to pass a department closure if he wins the White House and Republicans maintain control of the House and take over the Senate in November, according to Arnold Ventures Director of Higher Education Clare McCann.

"Congress created the Department of Education," McCann told ABC News, adding, "Congress could uncreate it if they wanted."

In theory, McCann said, Trump could make the shift with congressional approval but it's unlikely it would happen immediately. There would need to be a support system to dole out the money to states, but that's something the department would be equipped to do.

"There's a reason the Department of Education was created and it was to have this kind of in-house expertise and policy background on these issues," McCann said. "The civil servants who work at the Department of Education are true experts in the field," she added.

Former Trump White House press secretary Sarah Sanders has pushed for conservative education reform since becoming the first woman elected as the state's governor in 2022. Last year, she signed into law the state's LEARNS Act, which calls for raising minimum teacher salaries, introducing universal pre-K, banning teaching on "gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexual reproduction" before fifth grade and banning curriculum that would "indoctrinate students with ideologies, such as Critical Race Theory."

It also instituted a universal voucher program for so-called "school choice," which is also similar to plans in Trump's Agenda 47 and Project 2025.

Superintendent of the Little Rock School District Jermall Wright said abolishing the Department of Education would be "catastrophic."

Wright, who cited friction with the school board in announcing last week he was stepping down from his position after two years on the job, said such an action would hinder title and grant funding meant to supplement state funding. He also fears it would strip states of Title I funding for low-income and disadvantaged students as well as McKinney-Vento funds, which includes support for the unhoused and transient populations.

"We rely on those additional funds to provide, you know, an array of services and supports for students and families," Wright told ABC News. "The face of homelessness has changed. It's not just, you know, people who are living on streets. We have extremely mobile families. They move from apartments to apartments, hotels, motels, etc. We have children who may live with family members that are not their biological parents. All those types of situations."

Before Little Rock, Wright led the Mississippi Achievement School District -- which encompasses two smaller districts totaling about 5,000 students in the rural Mississippi Delta. He said he saw firsthand the amount of federal aid some districts in the poorest state in the nation rely on.

"In those small rural districts, the majority of our funding came from federal funds, which I'd never experienced that a day before in any place that I had worked," he said, adding "Those districts wouldn't be able to survive, let alone, you just can't function."

Wright also said the federal agency plays an essential role in overseeing states' civil rights issues.

An impact on vulnerable students

That's a concern in other states like California, where education advocates worry abolishing the department would have an impact on vulnerable students and students with disabilities as well as general learning outcomes for students and teachers.

"There's a critical role for the U.S. Department of Education to support states in thinking about how to meet the needs of student groups who either have been marginalized, underserved, or for whom we really haven't had the opportunity to think about how best to meet their needs," said Sarah Lillis, California executive director for Teach Plus

Gartner, the education finance expert, said much of this conversation is dependent on economic opportunity, not location.

"There are very wealthy districts in California and there are very poor districts in California (and everywhere else)," Gartner told ABC News. "Wealthy districts aren't going to be impacted very much by their Title I money being cut. They're going to go out and pass a bond and raise that money - and then some - locally in two days. It's the poor, rural district that's going to be devastated by that and have no recourse to fill that gap."

Due to their emphasis on local control, states like Texas with strong economies would virtually be unaffected, according to state policy experts.

Others say they don't need the feds' help.

Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Debbie Critchfield said the state doesn't look to the U.S. Department of Education for guidance on education policy. She told ABC News that she's fine with abolishing the agency.

"We are making decisions about education focused on our own state," Critchfield told ABC News, adding "It is very rare that we're reaching out to the federal government to help us know what initiatives and goals we want to have here for our kids in Idaho."

Critchfield believes shuttering the department would have "little impact" on her state.

"We don't look to them (the Department of Education) to say what should we be working on," Critchfield said. "I'm talking to leaders in the state, local school boards, parents in our state, they're the ones telling me what I should be focused on. Outside of (the Department of Education) watchdogging, the influence on outcomes just isn't there."

3 Episodes That Explain Phil Donahue’s Daytime Dominance

In his very first episode, which aired locally in Dayton, Ohio, the host, who would go on to redefine such talk shows, interviewed one of the most notorious figures in America.

By Maya Salam

Phil Donahue, who died on Sunday at age 88 , will long be remembered as the king of daytime television.

Starting in 1967 at a local Ohio station, he immediately set a new tone for what a talk show could be by tackling some of the most taboo topics of the day. His unique approach, which included making audience participation fundamental, proved wildly successful, and over the next 29 years, he would record more than 6,000 episodes of “The Phil Donahue Show” — shortened to “Donahue” during his heyday in the late 1970s and ’80s.

He was such a juggernaut that in Oprah Winfrey’s early days, she was told it would be impossible to compete. In an Instagram post on Monday that included a glitzy black-and-white photo of them together, Winfrey said , “There wouldn’t have been an Oprah Show without Phil Donahue being the first to prove that daytime talk and women watching should be taken seriously.”

In a lengthy 2001 interview with the Television Academy, Donahue said he struggled the most with questions like, “Who was your best guest?” These questions are easy to ask but impossible to answer, he said.

Even if Donahue himself was loath to pick the most memorable moments, some episodes do stand out from the pack. Here are three that explain how he endured.

UTSA and UT Health San Antonio announce historic merger to create a new ‘premier global university’

University officials say the partnership will elevate the city to the forefront of excellence in education, discovery, biomedical science, health care, and digital technology.

Rocky Garza , Content Gatherer

SAN ANTONIO – A historic merger is coming to San Antonio.

The University of Texas System Board of Regents announced merger plans Thursday morning during their executive session to combine the University of Texas San Antonio (UTSA) and UT-Health into one unified institution in 2025.

UT Systems Board of Regents Chairman Kevin P. Eltife said the new partnership improves each institution, adding that it was time to combine the talent, size, and scale of both schools, as it would “multiply their roles as global leaders in education, healthcare, and innovation.”

“By bringing together all of their complementary and unique strengths, we will give Texans access to the best education, discoveries, and health care imaginable, while accelerating the university’s trajectory as a top U.S. and global university,” Eltife said.

To lead the future university, Eltife and the board of regents unanimously voted during their executive session for UTSA President Taylor Eighmy to be at the helm. Eighmy will be responsible for 40,000 students, more than 15,900 staff members, approximately 4,000 faculty, and 1,400 healthcare providers.

Other details that officials gave on the future institution are that it would have $467 million allocated for research expenditures, a combined budget of $2.2 billion, an endowment of $1.1 billion and more than $6 billion in direct economic impact.

UT System Chancellor James B. Milliken spoke about the partnership’s impact, saying that the state of Texas would benefit “immensely,” adding the state would see a greater public impact and enhancement in global competitiveness.

“This initiative is about expanding and growing to align with the needs of the region and state, and to maximize the potential of two UT institutions that exist only miles apart,” Milliken said.

Other benefits that officials said the new school would have are the following:

New heights in securing research funding
Forging more industry and government partnerships
Attracting more “transformative philanthropic investments”
Pioneering groundbreaking innovations

The American Con Man Who Pioneered Offshore Finance

How a now-obscure financier turned the Bahamas into a tax haven—and created a cornerstone of global plutocracy

two palm trees growing on a small island made of money

Produced by ElevenLabs and News Over Audio (NOA) using AI narration.

The financier and bon vivant Wallace Groves had little use for the law or social norms. His wife, a former Hollywood starlet, left him in 1937 after he’d had their infant son briefly kidnapped from their glittering Park Avenue triplex apartment. A day after the supposed abduction, authorities arrested Groves on the tarmac at Newark airport, in the company of two women whom Time magazine coyly described as his “girl friends.” Monaei (pronounced “ money -I”) Groves soon ended up with a divorce settlement worth about $3 million in today’s currency. New Deal–era federal prosecutors, bent on reining in what President Franklin D. Roosevelt called “privileged princes of new economic dynasties,” indicted him the following year on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy.

Monaei’s testimony helped put Groves in a federal penitentiary. But his conviction didn’t break his spirit or teach him the error of his ways. Historical accounts indicate that he left prison with a new wife— Monaei’s former hairdresser —a ticket to the Bahamas, and a plan that would change the world. What started as his personal quest to rebuild a fortune turned a balmy Caribbean archipelago into a powerhouse of the global economy and a model for what we now call the offshore financial system. Groves started by taking over a sleepy lumber business on the island of Grand Bahama, but by 1955 had amassed so much wealth and political capital that he persuaded the colonial government to do something extraordinary: Authorities granted him carte blanche to rule and develop 50,000 acres—about 15 percent of the island, including what is now the city of Freeport—that would be immune from taxation and regulation for the next 99 years.

The Bahamas, which gained independence in 1973, are well known today as the former home of Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency exchange FTX, whose meltdown cost investors $8 billion. But the company would never have set up in the island nation if not for Groves, the founding fraudster of offshore finance. Groves pioneered the model for turning British colonies with lax financial regulation and minimal taxation for expats into snug harbors for foreign capital seeking refuge from other countries’ laws. A generation later, Groves’s imitators expanded his model to the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, and other territories of the fading British empire.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the Bahamas are now the fourth-largest tax haven in the world in terms of the volume of assets flowing through the country. It’s a major hub of a global system that the economists Annette Alstadsæter, Gabriel Zucman, and their colleagues at the EU Tax Observatory estimate contains at least $13.7 trillion in private household wealth ; the IMF estimated that a similar amount of corporate wealth— $12 trillion —is held in offshore shell companies that exist mainly to dodge taxes and other laws. In total, that amounts to about a quarter of the wealth produced annually worldwide.

Read: Every country is a tax haven

Offshore finance has become tightly integrated with the global economy, as corporations channel their money through the Bahamas and other havens to limit their taxes, deter outside scrutiny of their financial dealings, and take advantage of permissive securities laws. Offshore finance has probably affected your life without you knowing it. For example, lax offshore regulation made possible the securitization of risky subprime mortgages , the financial “innovation” that crashed the world economy in 2008. If you’re an American with a pension or a life-insurance annuity, odds are that at least some of your money has ended up in the offshore tax haven of Bermuda , as the business journalist Mary Williams Walsh reported earlier this year.

T oday, Groves is a largely forgotten figure, even in the Bahamas. But the ubiquity of offshore finance is partly a consequence of the model that he pioneered. In his heyday, he was lauded in the Bahamian press as a savior of the country: In 1965, The Bahamian Review praised the “intrepid developer Wallace Groves” and “the invaluable service done to this section of Mankind by the creator of Freeport.” Two years later, a Florida newspaper dubbed him “ the King of the Bahamas .”

It was an apt moniker for a man who had reinvented himself as a kind of freelance imperialist, making Freeport his own personal colony within a colony. The resorts, casinos, and financial institutions that arose there attracted not only tourists but money launderers, tax dodgers, and mobsters. Groves’s partners were denizens of the global financial demimonde: a Canadian gambler and Mafia associate, a former Swiss banker who had escaped the French penal colony of Devil’s Island after being convicted of financial crimes, and the notorious gangster Meyer Lansky.

Within 15 years of Groves’s acquisition of Freeport, his creation was flourishing to such an extent that The Economist described the Bahamas as “ the archetype of the tax haven .” Local publications billed it as the “Little Switzerland of the Western Hemisphere.” Hundreds of American, Canadian, and Swiss banks opened branches in the capital city of Nassau, and by 1975, the offshore business employed nearly 10 percent of the island’s population. By 2019, the Financial Times described the Bahamas as “the richest country in the Caribbean” in terms of GDP per capita, due largely to its offshore financial-services business, which by then made up an estimated 20 percent of its national economy . These figures represent an extraordinary transformation from the Bahamas of the mid-1940s, when local historians recorded widespread destitution and occasional death by starvation.

Yet the country’s Gini coefficient for household wealth—a measure of economic inequality—is among the highest in the world . Ironically, in a center of global finance, an estimated one in five Bahamians still lacks access to a bank account , and real wages are so low that the government occasionally institutes price controls to keep bread and eggs affordable.

About 50 miles from Miami Beach—the distance of a day’s sail—the Bahamas make for a convenient spot to engage in activities that aren’t permitted under U.S. law. Groves knew all about this from his Depression-era trips to the islands on his yacht, Regardless. When he was still a high-flying young financier, he got acquainted with the islands’ elite white power brokers and established two of the offshore corporations that later got him convicted of tax evasion .

At that point, Groves was just walking a well-trodden path of exploitation and chicanery first blazed by Christopher Columbus, whose initial steps in the New World were taken on the island now known as Grand Bahama. Within two decades, Spanish explorers had killed or carried off the island’s native inhabitants, and for centuries afterward, Caribbean historians note, pirates made the Bahamas their base and became the de facto rulers. From then on, being a law-free zone intermittently boosted the economy of the Bahamas.

In the 1860s, Nassau, the islands’ capital, grew rich for a few years by helping the Confederacy evade the Union’s maritime blockade, becoming a trading post where southern cotton was exchanged for British arms . When Prohibition banned the sale of liquor on American soil in the 1920s, the islands became a hub of “rum running.” This turned out to be what local historians have described as a “godsend for the Bahamian economy,” creating a steady flow of income from wealthy tourists and buyers to supplement a “desperately poor” nation just getting by on fishing and agriculture. It also created what social scientists call a “criminogenic environment”—one likely to reward illegal acts. The Bahamas’ role in skirting the laws of other countries intensified in the mid-1930s, when Americans started using the islands to escape the increased taxes imposed by Roosevelt’s New Deal.

Read: The United States of dirty money

Groves and other tax dodgers from North America and Europe were drawn to the Bahamas not only by the lack of financial regulation, but also by the promise of secrecy and stability offered by the institutions of British imperialism.

Under British laws designed to reward white settlers in British colonial possessions , the Bahamas levied no taxes on personal or corporate income. It did business in English—a major attraction for North Americans—and was governed by English law; the ultimate court of appeals for disputes in the Bahamas was the Privy Council in London. The currency was the familiar, reliable British pound.

But wealthy foreigners also had the security of knowing that what happened in Nassau would stay in Nassau. The Bahamian historian Anthony Audley Thompson described the impact of companies that “were in effect legal fictions designed solely for the purpose of evading taxation in countries abroad. Because no treaties provided for the exchange of financial information between the Bahamas and other governments, the accounts of such corporations were not subject to scrutiny by foreign authorities.” He added that the Bahamian government did not require these largely imaginary holding companies to file financial statements .

In short, British colonial administration had unintentionally put in place the legal and financial infrastructure necessary to build an ideal offshore financial center.

Life magazine likened the 1955 agreement between Groves and the Bahamas to the “blank-check” given in 1600 by Queen Elizabeth I to the British East India Company —the catalyst for a centuries-long enterprise of plunder and pillage that brought a globe-spanning empire into being. Groves’s innovation, such as it was, lay in making the perks cherished by British colonists—among those the absence of capital-gains and income tax—available to the global ultrarich, people who weren’t settlers and might never set foot in the islands at all.

As the British empire in the Caribbean began to break up in the late 1960s and early ’70s, many of the islands turned to Groves’s model as a way to gain economic self-sufficiency. Regional competition heated up, including from unexpected places such as the famously mosquito-plagued and underdeveloped Cayman Islands; within 20 years, by revamping itself along the Bahamas’ lines, the Caymans went from being a neglected dependency of British Jamaica to surpassing the per capita income of Great Britain itself .

This put pressure on the Bahamas to keep pushing the boundaries of the law as an international tax haven. Thus, two years after Bahamians declared independence from the British, an interview with the governor of the Central Bank concluded that “national self-sufficiency and self-reliance” required that the country not only continue its practices, but also aggressively expand its role as an offshore financial center. In other words, the new nation would sustain itself by helping wealthy foreigners break their own countries’ laws.

The 2022 collapse of Bankman-Fried’s FTX is a direct outgrowth of this historical trajectory. In keeping with the Bahamas’ centuries of resilience in the face of colonial crime sprees and contemporary frauds, the FTX debacle does not seem to have done lasting damage to the country’s economy. Yet the country’s government continues to bet its future on highly speculative financial ventures, enacting policies to entice more blockchain-based, decentralized-finance businesses to the country. For example, the Bahamian Central Bank was the first in the world to issue its own digital currency—the sand dollar—and announced a plan to give away $1 million worth of it as an incentive to early adopters. This strategy seems likely to perpetuate a cycle of economic boom and bust based on fraud and criminality. Wallace Groves is a historical footnote, but we are all living in the world he helped create.

An Educated Man Essay Example

Pages: 4 (872 words)
Published: November 20, 2016
Type: Essay

We live in a world in which one fool makes many fools but one wise man only a few wise men. After reading the Speech of Jovito Salonga, i got this bad feeling that only few have read this and somehow neglected by others. I think this speech makes sense. It made my point of view in life very strong and i am thankful for it. Also, i learned the true meaning of educated man. It would seem that God, who has widely ordered the organs of our body for happiness, has also given us the ability to know our imperfections. The moment i'm thinking on how to start writing, i have to judge the speech naturally.

From his speech, he said "when i used the term educated man, i do not mean the individual w

ho has memorized a thousand facst and assembled in his mind in a million data, on the basis of which he has earned a string of academic degrees. " So, it is obvious that it is not because you haven't been to college you cannot be called educated man. I understand that Jovito Salonga did not mean to minimize the importance of memory as he said. I belive that Jovito wants us to know that we can learn not only in school, universities and colleges but alsi from any place and any time.

Everybody can be educated by own experiences. He mentioned plato as one of the examples. For two thousand and three hundred years Plato's work has been a living force that cause creative mind of others. He was known as observer of daily lif

and he learned a lot from that. We are all hoping to be called educated man, yet we don't know exactly what does it mean, can anyone know how to define it? Before, I can honestly say no i can't, but because i have read some articles about being educated and plus the speech of Jovito Salonga I have now the idea of what educated man really is.

I wish to say that i want to compare the speech of Jovito to a line from an article in Reader's Digest which i really like: "A person with an average IQ who industriously stores up knowledge and skills is better off than a persin who has a very high IQ but refuses to study. " It seems to me that partly both have the same thought. Man should not stop from learning facts but more importantly is to not stop learning lesson from life. It is possible that college education may uneducate a man. Man should help his self too. do not ever rely on one environment. chool is not enough to be called educated man. just like what i have said earlier, everybody can be educated by own experiences. education is everywhere. i think part of Jovito Salonga's speech objective is that no matter what University we've come from it is not right to underestimate peopl who have not been in university. year levels are also not the bases. graduates or undergraduates have the rigth to be called educated man.

People who read a lot, remembers many facts and events but have bitter hearts and high pride are still uneducated. man needed not

only knowledge but also wisdom. But those who continue to hope and refuses to give up the good fight look primarily to the institutions of learning to provide the guidance and direction in critical days such as these. for it is in the schools, the colleges and the universities of the land where the youth who will pilot the affairs of tomorrow are being taught and trained and equipped for what we trust will be a better kind if leadership. " it says here that schools have the great job to teach and trained the students to have a better future. but how sure are we to trust schools for the students' furure?

It may well be that society is placing an impossibly dufficult demand on the capabilities of institutions such as this. for it is evident that the schools and the universities cannot, by themeselves alone, do the job. nor can they mean much unless society utself comes to grips with the paradoxes that confront the youth. " from this, my last quetion was partly answered, we cannot give our full trust to school because just like what have been said from the speech, "The schools and universities cannot, by themselves alone, do the job. " i have read from Reader's Digest that the late president of Harvard, A.

Lawrence Lowell's favorite sayings went this way: "The mark of an educated man is the ability to make a reasoned guess on the basis of insufficient information. " we can infer from this that after when a man is fced with decision it is impossible for him to fill in all the certainties.

just like jovito is trying to say, to have good decision in life. this is precisely the point at which education comes in, for true education goes far beyond facts and classrooms. education also means experince and faith, courage and understanding and most of all, the ability to think and act.

An educated person is someone who comprehends that education is a lifelong process. Therefore, to become one, you need to work consistently at broadening your mind. Educated people are literate, cultured, and aware. They know what is happening in the world, appreciate the arts and comport themselves in a calm and comfortable manner.

Staying Informed

The India Times (India)
Le Monde (France)
The Asahi Shimbun (Japan)
The New York Times (USA)
The Guardian (UK)
Washington Post (USA)

Stay critical. Do not necessarily take everything you read at face value. Notice the biases and omissions of different newspapers instead of simply taking in talking points.

These magazines have online versions as well. Peruse their archives and don’t simply focus on current news. A piece on classical music from the 1930s might lead you to a composer you’ve never heard of. The more of these articles you read, the more you will broaden your general knowledge.
Writers in these magazines often write books as well. These books supply even more information about the topics that you have read about.
Reader Poll: We asked 498 wikiHow readers and 53% of them said that their preferred way to expand their knowledge is by reading books and magazine articles on new subjects . [Take Poll]

Appreciating Culture

Engage with each art object using a different lens. A painting is different from a photograph. Don't look at a contemporary work in the same way that you would look at a classical one. A newer oil painting deserves a different consideration than one from three hundred years ago. Remember that periods matter, as do movements.
Take a tour. The guide will pass along important details about significant pieces of artwork. Listen carefully, even if you have seen the piece before. You might learn something new about the artwork or the artist.
See if they have informative print-outs. These can give you vital information about the museum’s collection.

Start with classic literature. For example, Plutarch’s Lives is a compendium of stories about Greek and Roman men who lived interesting lives. Each story examines both the positive and negative qualities of these men .

Read foundational works of philosophy. Start with Plato’s Republic . This fundamental work consists of dialogues between Socrates and his students as they attempt to figure out what the perfect society would consist of. As they design their hypothetical city, they discourse on free will, morality, and belief.

Read criticism. You might enjoy magazines like Sight and Sound and Cahiers du Cinema (in French). Both have contemporary art-house film reviews and essays. They also publish articles by film scholars about older, classic films. The AV Club (online) is also a great resource on films both old and new. Individual critics’ websites can be helpful as well.

Having Conversations

Step 1 Talk with people who are reasonably well-educated.

Talk to people from a variety of professions. Education develops in various ways. An educated person realizes this. Your mechanic can be as knowledgeable as your professor.

Take accurate notes during the lecture. This will make it easier for you to come up with good, stimulating questions that will allow for an invigorating discussion. Don’t tire yourself writing down every word. Mark down just the key concepts and ideas.

If you disagree with a perspective, you could say something like "I see why you would think this. However, I have a different take on the matter."

Behaving Well

If you find yourself becoming angry, try to center yourself. Meditation is a good way to do this.

An inquisitive mind is an intelligent one. If you did not understand a point, say: "Would you mind explaining your last point again?"

Tips from our Readers

Keep a list of famous quotes from poetry, books, and inspiring people that resonate with you. Knowing where these quotes come from and being able to recite them in the appropriate setting will make you seem very educated.
When you're first trying to become educated, limit your exposure to the news. It's more important to gain a foundation of knowledge through books, courses etc, than to constantly keep up with current affairs and opinions.
Always have variety and challenge yourself. Try new things and learn new skills as much as possible. Even if they don't stick, you'll have learned something new and gotten more life experience.

The Educated Man (Speech Sample)

The educated man.

Being educated is popularly associated with getting a degree from a recognized university and acquiring a white-collar job. With many degrees, one is believed to be educated. I do believe that such notion is a narrow and wrong conception of education. I do believe that education is a process and cannot be completed at a specific stage of life. It is not surprising that in several situations, we have witnessed people who despite being educated do not utter wise words. The question is what makes an educated man who is intelligent enough and have succeeded in the scientific field not to be wise.

This question is not new; many philosophers in the past have tried to explain such paradox. Isocrates was a great philosopher and a teacher during the 4th century responded to his critics by explaining the meaning of education. He gave an explanation that was not given appropriate attention, but his definition of education is remarkable. The panathenaicus speech by Isocrates was a response to those who criticized him because of his narrow opinions. Isocrates speech highlights his view of a truly educated man that we cannot ignore.

In his view, Isocrates states that most men have attained a certain age of maturity having masters several skills in geometry, science and other specialized field that they can eventually teach others. However, such men seem to appear to be foolish when addressing ordinary life matters. A truly educated man has the acumen to interpret circumstances and benefit from it. An educated man is a fair, tolerant; he is meek, kind and decent with his friends. Isocrates also described an educated man as someone who can control his impulses by bravely dealing with misfortunes. When concluding his speech, Isocrates stated that a true man is not a corrupt person who can easily be swayed by happy circumstances; instead, he enjoys more from what he has earned from hard labor than what he has achieved by chance.

According to Isocrates, anyone who meets the above requirements is truly an educated man. In summary, he should be sensible, moderate and can pursue his benefit without necessarily despising people around him. Even though Isocrates’ description of an educated man goes back during Renaissance period, the fact that his definition emphasizes not only on mental but also moral excellence for humans makes it relevant up to date. The term-educated man does not mean that an individual need to memorize all the facts to earn a string of academic degrees. What matter is how one translates his thoughts into action.

An educated man lives a distinct life because he has an open mind because he has great thoughts and noble ideas. His intelligence does not imprison him; instead, he chooses to make rigorous analysis and evaluate everything around him. He is someone who is not interested in accumulating academic paper, but has a habit of cultivating a generous spirit. Because he expresses himself in a logical and precise manner, he is interested in interacting with people and tries to live life to the fullest by acquiring wisdom and maturity from his own experience.

Being educated means not only acquiring intellectual qualities, but also moral qualities. An educated person has pleasing manners, people around him feel at home in his company because he utters wise words that attract many people and practice the art of listening making his conversation lively. I concur with Isocrates claims that anyone who masters these talents to gain all the mentioned qualities is a truly educated man and is someone who can succeed in life more than anyone can because he has intellectual and moral qualities.

Man in 50s shot by EPISD officer at Franklin High; classes canceled for Aug. 22

A man in his 50s was fatally shot by an EPISD police officer at Franklin High School, resulting in classes being canceled at the West El Paso campus, district officials said.

The shooting happened before 6 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 22, when an El Paso Independent School District Police Department officer responded to a report of an incident on the perimeter of the high school, EPISD Police Chief Manuel Chavira said at a news conference.

"We want to ensure the public that the incident was isolated to Franklin High School in the early morning hours," Chavira said. "It did not affect any students, faculty or staff. All other district campuses are safe and secure."

The shooting only involved the man who died and an EPISD police officer who was responding to an unspecified incident on the Franklin High campus, Chavira said.

No further information on the incident has been released. The El Paso Police Department and Texas Rangers are investigating the shooting, which is standard procedure following a fatal shooting. An EPISD administrative investigation also is being conducted.

The only students on campus were cross-country athletes, but they were not near the area of the shooting, Chavira said. The students were placed in lockdown and were safe the entire time.

Classes and afterschool activities at Franklin High have been canceled for Thursday, Aug. 22, EPISD officials said. The high school is expected to reopen for classes Friday. All other EPISD schools remain open Thursday, and classes are taking place as scheduled.

Before classes had been scheduled to start on Thursday, a body covered by a white sheet could be seen behind red crime-scene tape on gravel landscaping outside the school located at 900 N. Resler Drive, according to news photos from Channel 14-KFOX .

EPISD police shooting at Franklin High School

The shooting at Franklin High School is believed to be the first fatal shooting involving an EPISD police officer.

The EPISD police was established in 1989 and has 40 officers. They are armed like any other law enforcement officers and tasked with various police duties, including 24-hour patrols protecting about 95 schools, centers and office buildings belonging to the school district, according to EPISD.
