Summary
This article is emphasizing the importance of introducing
global education in to schools in the hopes to help students keep up with
globalization and ultimately be successful when it becomes their time to join
the workforce. The article suggests that more language and culture experience
needs to be put into schools as early as kindergarten because ultimately it
will give them the essentials to get a job. It also benefits the way students
think. They will become familiar with global issues and gain a point of view on
the issues as well as being able to communicate their viewpoint. Studying
abroad is highly recommended for college students and learning new languages is
recommended for the younger students. The intent is to make global education
something that continues over a lifetime to gain knowledge and understanding,
as well as opening the mind to all that the world has to offer and how
different countries interact with one another.
Analysis
The world and the dynamics of the workforce is ever changing
and based on this article they are predicting that most work will be completed
with the involvement of many other places around the world. Students need to
prepare themselves for this change or else they will not be able to keep up
with the rest of the world. The demand for workers to become cross-country
skilled has become more than just a bonus but a necessity to work in the job
market. With the amount of outsourcing all over the world this statement makes
sense. Parts of products are produced all over the world and then assembled in
one place. To do business, one must understand the intricate details of the
process that the product goes through and that means understanding the
different cultures and places. By introducing these ideas at a young age we are
encouraging positive globalization, critical thinking, and a deeper
understanding for the world that surrounds us. It will teach students all over
the world how to communicate and interact with others no matter their
background or where they are from and that skill is priceless in today’s world
where communication is key.
