"Education" and "Cultivation"

Finally procrastinated reading the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", but also happened to take advantage of the day more painfully determined to seriously record their own feelings, counting, has been a lot of years have not been seriously written after reading.

"To Kill a Mockingbird", where I do not want to talk about the main theme of the book - against "racism", I believe that everyone can be depicted from the book's I believe that everyone can have various interpretations of "racism" from the background of the book and the story it tells. At the moment, I just want to discuss with myself about "education and cultivation", which is also the reason why I chose this book by chance in the first place. One morning I was discussing with someone about an article in my circle of friends about upbringing and cultivation, arguing about the difference between upbringing and cultivation, and I don't remember exactly what the article was about, but the argument didn't persuade me to realize the difference between the two. Indeed, in the story told in the book, the story of the protagonist I saw the "education", but also see the "cultivation", and would like to talk about my understanding of the difference between the two.

There is no doubt that the hero Anticus, the lawyer who defends the blacks in the text and the father who is full of wisdom in educating his children, has his own adherence to the principle of the courage to know the difficulties of the progress of the people of the lower strata of the society, and his benevolence to the people, in him, you can see the glory of the "cultivation"; although in the battle of the blacks, the hero and his father have to fight for their rights, but they are not the only ones who have the right to fight. Although the hero and his family were subjected to a lot of resistance and slander in the battle for the defense of the blacks, he taught his son and daughter the most valuable things with his attitude and behavior - kindness, bravery, righteousness, and strength, and you can see the power of "upbringing" in the children. Knowing that the world is not always good and kind, but still try to maintain that fairness and justice.

The "proper" behavior of dealing with people related to traditions and rules, such as politeness and etiquette, which can be acquired through education and learning, is "upbringing"; and "cultivation" is "the best way to make people feel good about themselves. "I feel is the sublimation of education, more pattern and more internalized, focusing on repair, I prefer to understand it as the inner judgment of right and wrong, for the rationale for the trade-offs.

Not to lose manners, know the rules, is for the education; not to lose benevolence, right and wrong, is for the cultivation.
