Answer and Explanation:
The effects of education go way beyond basic literacy, creating a positive domino effect.
<u>For example, educated people are usually more tolerant when it comes to cultural differences, to foreigners and immigrants. A consequence of that is a society capable of accepting people from all over the world, where discrimination and racial crimes are not acceptable.</u>
<u>Another example is that educated people understand the importance of equality. Educated societies tend to have a smaller gap when it comes to the treatment, employment and payment of people of different genders and races, for instance. As a consequence, people get better jobs, better salaries, and quality of life improves.</u>
All in all, education provides us with the tools to learn from the past, to understand the present and to create a better future.
