Our society has a problem with equating academic achievement to good moral/ethical character. The two do not necessarily have anything to do with each other. I think some people with a lot of education and high job status are almost above the law, which is why there is so much corruption and social injustice in our society. People need to use education in a POSITIVE way. People need to be educated enough to recognize corruption. They also need to have the courage to speak up about corruption, and they should use their own education ethically and not as an excuse to be amoral snobs.
