enlightened citizen

Explanation:
1. (adj) educated
- possessing an education (especially having more than average knowledge)
Synonyms: enlightened

2. (adj) educated, enlightened
- characterized by full comprehension of the problem involved
Synonyms: enlightened, educated

An enlightened citizen is supposed to contribute creatively to the quality of
social life (for instance by making informed choices in the democratic
processes), while a trained professional is supposed to perform more
efficiently (for instance by increasing the amount of available goods
and services). However, the definition of an enlightened citizen pre-
supposes an opposition between a majority of unenlightened “plain
folks” and a minority of “sophisticated professionals” who had access
to the higher enlightening influences (exerted by the higher academic
institutions, to which only a certain percentage of citizenry could be
admitted).
