INTRODUCTION
Education, is a modern word, which is derived from the Latin word ‘educase’, means to nourish, to cause to grow (Patel: 1991 : viii). Education also prevails in illiterate societies, where it is imparted orally and by mass behavior.

These are the education for them. We the modern people do mean “education as reading and writing. This is also true. By modern education a person…

I have to do a research project about a social problem in teenagers… should i choose?

In general terms, illiteracy is an inability to use language—an inability to read, write, listen and speak.

The recruits that are trying to be police officers in Afghanistan can’t read according to the Newspaper. The US army people training them said they are having a hard time because 9 out of 10 of them are illiterate.
So is that why they can be tricked into blowing themselves up for “allah” because the men in Afghanistan can’t read and the women aren’t allowed anyway, but the Imams can?
