It's an amazing thing, but not everyone knows that horizons are not only a degree of education, but also a horizon. Let's talk more about the two values, and also talk about how you can replace this slightly outdated definition.
Meaning
In the minds of almost any person, the word “horizons” is firmly connected with the school. Why is that? It’s not difficult to guess: horizons are a favorite word of teachers. When someone who has already graduated from school says to himself: “Petrov has a broad outlook, ” he will most likely make it a teaching tone. So, the values (they were announced a little higher):
- Similar to the content of the definition of “horizon”. The latter is that visible space that is accessible to the eye.
- This is what a person likes, what he is fond of. Those areas of knowledge where he is a specialist.
Why is it better to replace the word "horizons", and how to do it?
We don’t know how to readers, but it seems to us that the word horizons is a word that is outdated with an obvious Soviet flavor. And by the way, one should not think that everything Soviet should be forgotten on this basis, not at all. If we talk, for example, about some films or books, then they are beautiful. At least, much better than modern ones, but the language of the Soviet era, including everyday, was not the best.
On the one hand, one can say that “horizons” are metaphorical. On the other hand, if the question arises, what does this even mean, then imagery obscures the meaning, and when people talk to each other, they want to be understood first of all. How to painlessly replace the "horizons"? Very simple: you can say about a person that he is educated. No need to say that someone has a “broad outlook”, this is superfluous.
