Education not only passes on knowledge but also teaches an individual to take an active part in society’s life. Through education, a person learns about society’s history, political, and geographical position (Giddens et al., 2006). Moreover, this social institution provides an individual with credentials, allowing them to get a job and become economically independent from other family members. So, education gives people knowledge, freedom, and independence as well as facilitates their functioning in other social institutions. Religion also helps people to become engaged members of society by giving them a sense of purpose in life and providing them with a common set of norms and values (Giddens et al., 2006). Furthermore, religion features crucial rituals and practices that unite believers and make them members of the community.
