To me an educated person would be someone that has good vocabulary. An educated person wouldn't think that they are always right and that there is no other way around what they think. Someone that is able to go recognize others opinions without judging them. I also think they should be able to back up what they are saying or have done their research on what they are talking about.

Nothing is worse than trying to have a conversation with someone and not being able to understand them because they talk over your head. They know where they came from and where they are going in life. They are up to date on the current events, not just in our little town, but in the country or even the whole world.

What is an Educated person? To me an educated person is someone who is able to gain knowledge and apply it. They are able to see opposing views, weigh situations and their consequences, and they are able to form their own opinions about situations despite external pressures. Educated people are not always built from the lectures within classroom walls; they are often built through the school of hard knocks and through working hard and the willingness to work and learn. A truly educated person wishes to continuously learn and pass on what they learn to others.

Education usually takes place under the guidance of educators, but those who are motivated can educate themselves. With motivation one has the ability to be a life-long learner, gain the knowledge one is seeking, teach others in a way that is easily understood, and the ability to apply what one knows. Therefore, motivation is the key to one being an educated person.

I believe an educated person is experienced in their field. Not just the learning aspect of it, you can go to school for years studying a subject but unless you are directly involved with a physical aspect then there is still so much you don’t know. (I have seen farm owners who push papers all day yell at employees for doing something wrong, but put them in the same position and they cause more damage, wasting more money and company time… doing it the way they thought it ought to be done. The worker knew the outcome, and found a way that was more efficient.) I also believe that a true sign of knowledge is being able to teach your trade in a way that is easily understood. On that same note, you know how to get people to see your views and understand them. You have to have knowledge of the opposing opinions facing your subject or subjects and be able to understand those views and be prepared to face them in a respectful manner.
