Education or Indoctrination?

In a well-developed, argumentative essay, examine the role of education in society. What role does education play in modern society? What distinctions do you draw between education and indoctrination? Does education always include an element of indoctrination? If not, how can one differentiate between the two? Explain.

For this essay, cite two of three core readings (Plato, Marx, and Newman’s The Idea of a University); in addition, use the film “The Matrix” in a central way, probably as an allegorical representation of education and/or indoctrination.

Requirement:
Argument must feature a close analysis of the required readings/film.
