Will The Global Economy Help Or Hurt The Next Generation Of Americans?

Will the Global Economy Help or Hurt The Next Generation of Americans?     Will the global economy help or hurt the next generation of Americans?This is the question I am red ink to investigate in this paper. The global economyis the system pertaining to the production, distribution and consumption of solids and run around the globe. It is important that we understand theglobal economy beca mapping it is and will be affecting the way we learn, work andlive. How all of these factors be affected will be discussed in the followingpaper.     I take the bearing that the global economy will hurt the nextgeneration of Americans.     One argument for this position is that our schools are not adequatelypreparing out learners for the types of new work that will be required in thenext generation. American schools are using teaching techniques that taughtexisted in the 1950s. Textbooks date back to the early 1970s. Requirements m ayhave changed but our reaching techniques have not. Every year, students take thesame courses with the same prerequisite A correct memory. True, they are teachingclasses that are essential to get into a good college but are they teaching theskills that our future generation will need? argon students going to be able toproblem solve? Are todays students going to be able to access tomorrowsinformation? Our schools teach American students to be good at memorization. Tobe able to spit out recorded information. "You do have the knowledge but you arebasically robots with skin machines, tape recorders that teachers use to recordtheir information. At the end of a chapter, they rewind you and press the playbutton to see if you can repeat everything they said."1 Also, our schools arenot stressing the importance of math and science. Because of this fact, impertinentborn workers such as engineers are taking over the jobs American workers couldhave. Our students need to be truly smart because memorized skills can only goso far. Grades cannot always determine the real skills of the students. Anybodycan receive a diploma but what do these grades really mean? Not much unless astudent can apply their memorized skills for the new way of work. "Just possiblywe have a surplus of graduates and a scarcity of real skills."2 The improvementof o... ...tas earnings plunge. Mothers are going to have to work longer hours if the familyis going to have its old standard of living."25 This means that people aregoing to have to work twice as hard for the same quality of living. This alsomeans a constant upgrading of skills necessary for peak job performance." classical efforts should be better education and a committed and constantupgrading of skills. Our future is a more educated one rather than a cheaper one.Technological revolutions in the past have consistently led to gains inproduction, commerce, employment and living standards."26 Yet if workers dontimpro ve their skills and constantly upgrade them, shrinking the gap amidst manand machine, this revolution will be detrimental to the welfare of our workers,their families and most importantly the global economy.     Despite all the information on how the global economy will hurt the nextgeneration of Americans, there are also ways in which it will help the nextgeneration. My objection to my original position that is the global economywill hurt the next generation of Americans is that it will instead help them dueto the new ag
