Education & Reference

Education in its broadest, general sense is the means through which the aims and habits of a group of people lives on from one generation to the next. Reference is a relation between objects in which one object designates, or acts as a means by which to connect to or link to, another object. The first object in this relation is said to refer to the second object. The second object – the one to which the first object refers – is called the referent of the first object.
