globalization

article!

This blog topic was really difficult. I'm still not even sure I did the right thing. But I found an article that mentioned globalization and education. I'm just afraid the two aren't related in the right way in this article. No idea. Oh well.

Either way, the main point I took from this article was that kids these days are not being prepared well enough for work overseas.

To me, this kind of goes back to the argument that if America isn't number one, it's failing.  I feel like we don't need to focus on taking over overseas.  Why can't we focus on bettering ourselves over here?  It's kind of the same point as the "just because we're not number one at math doesn't mean we're horribly stupid".  We have valid jobs over here - granted fewer than normal - but I think breeding children to go be engineers overseas is going to greatly decrease the expansion and diversity in the US.

I think our creativity is a good thing. Our abundance of opportunities is a good thing. Our freedom to explore so many options we're puking out electives is a good thing.

I dunno, I like America.
