Are American Students Ready for the Global Age?

J. Michael Adams, the president of Fairleigh Dickinson University, says that colleges must quickly adapt to the global age, catch up to businesses that operate across countries and incorporate global studies throughout the curriculum. However, he adds, although more mission statements and position papers are popping up advocating international lessons and global education, not much substance lies behind the rhetoric. As evidence, he cites the following reports.

The first, written by Douglas McGray, in the May/June edition of Foreign Policy magazine, argues that, despite all the changes produced by globalization, the average classroom remains insular. His article, “Lost in America,” sadly concludes that young Americans “represent something of a paradox: surrounded by foreign languages, cultures and goods, they remain hopelessly uninformed, and misinformed, about the world beyond U.S. borders.”

Looks about right to me. There is plenty of room for parking lots and concentration camps left in the world.
