"To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society" (Indian society). The quote represents an Indian's philosophy that they have separated education and morality into two divergent categories. In this blog, I will elaborate on a belief: "Morality and education are antagonists and protagonists but brought up in the same family," based on human brain structure.

The brain parts controlling moral behavior (prefrontal cortex) along with the learning part (hippocampus) is distinctive. To reinforce the statement, there are myriad cases to show that high education is not relevant to ethics, and the opposite is the discrete maturation of the brain section. In Nigeria, 50% of the businesses interviewed experienced at least one crime during the 12 months before the survey about business crime and corruption. More remarkably, most of these people achieved at least one MBA degree. Have you ever heard of the new "woman version of Steve Jobs?". Accepted into the most prestigious school, Stanford University, Elizabeth Holmes 2021 was convicted in January on four counts of defrauding investors. The two stated paradigms want to tell us it is inappropriate to declare intellectuals consistently coming with ethics; thus, how about the moral person but lack of schooling? Let's take the peasantry into account. According to the Journal of Social History, in the late 19th century, Russian peasants spontaneously formed marriage morality, including strictly forbidding sexual intercourse outside of marriage. Likable, it is cut and dried that there is common agreement on farmer personalities described by positive adjectives such as diligent, friendly, and honest. Once again, these people's learning careers are principally terminated at primary school or none. Now you know the disconnection between education and morality, so why did I mention brain anatomy in the first place, and how does that explain the disconnection?

Resonating with the fact that no two people have the same brain anatomy, the neuro network differentiates individuals into diverse levels of each brain part's function. The prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and impulse control, is not fully developed until a person reaches their mid-20s. This means that even highly educated individuals may struggle with making ethical decisions until their brain fully matures. Correspondingly, it can be said that in some situations, the brain's hippocampus reached its best potential while the moral brain part had less neuronal activity than usual.
Then, it partly leads to the case of the "smart but immoral" person. In the bargain, the best simplification I can logically propound for the peasant's morality is that their moral part has been practiced continuously every day, and by doing so, they gain precious virtues. As far as I perceived, religion is an appealing factor directly affecting the lower class's morality. The main purpose of modern and innovative religion is to aim for compassion. When the religion successfully impacted a range of farmers, it turned out to have the need for morality.

In conclusion, morality and education are not necessarily relevant because of the separate controlling brain parts . Scientifically, people with well-educated backgrounds acting dishonorably can blame their failed neuro network.
