In the article, “Lost in America,” Douglas McGray informs politicians, education administrators, and school-board officials that language throughout the world is evolving and Americans need to step up their game in global communications. Along with informing politicians, education administrators, and school-board officials he also criticizes how the American education systems are ran. McGray goes into detail about how Americans are not educated properly on foreign culture and language throughout their academic career. This lack of familiarity proves that Americans are behind in the education system. Overall, McGray is trying to persuade his intended audience that as American citizens, we should be more open-minded and extend our education in order to keep up in global affairs. With the effective use of statistics, anecdotes, metaphors, and scholarly diction, McGray builds up his credibility when persuading politicians, education administrators, and school-board officials that the education systems in America needs to avoid isolationism in order to be successful globally.

Furthermore, my Summer Programs in 2014 and 2015 have solidified my aspiration. Through these extra-curricular experiences, I have been exposed to new disciplines such as marketing, economics and international

"Get involved more in the services that the campus offers like advisers,” added Anderea Pietinedo, “For me as an international student, I didn't know about the education system, I didn't know what was an associate's, what was a bachelor's because it differed from my country. I wished I could get more information about those kinds of things — what courses do I have to take? Now I know a lot of it, but at first that was very important: get involved with the services that the campuses can

Nevertheless, the global economy is constantly changing therefore making liberal arts students more prepared for the changing global job market than others. Ungar even says that,” …the future demands of citizenship will require not narrow technical or job-focused training, but rather a subtle understanding of the complex influences that shape the world we live in.”

Ever since before the inception of a stricter limitation on granting of U.S. educational visas in the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks, the US immigration policy for foreign graduate students has become the focus of a powerful debate in congress. Those who are worried about the policy change argue that it will damage the nation’s transformational capability. For example, most of the U.S. University representatives are becoming more and more alarmed that these boundaries might cause a

With the constant changes and developments in the workforce, people need to enhance their career roles. The University of Phoenix uses that fact to persuade people to enroll in classes. They use ads and phrases that make you reevaluate your current situation.

I needed to understand diversity to the ninth degree, so academically I chose to enroll in every course within my degree plan that contained the words “international,” “ethnic,” and “social.” Learning by immersion was a success in my transition to college, so I felt that international immersion within my international courses would be even better. I quickly jumped on the opportunity to participate in the United Kingdom Study Abroad Program to study international communications. The time I spent studying in the UK and traveling across Europe changed my life completely; my eyes were finally opened to the knowledge I always wanted. I departed from the French airport back to America with a more sophisticated understanding of worldviews and a respect for others that will never be

Visiting New York, I was heavily impressed by the vitality of this dynamic and influential metropole as by the cultural diversity on NYU’s campus. Furthermore, I liked the attitude of NYU’s founders, stating that this University is graciously open to all, which I as a non-U.S. Citizen appreciate in particular, just as the fact that NYU has the highest number of international students in the United States. Moreover, earning a degree adapted to current exigencies is crucial for me. The non-denominational concept is also exemplary, as it conveys a world open attitude, which is identical to my own one and extremely important to me in a globalized world. The “open” Washington Square Campus, located in the heart of Manhattan promotes interaction

C.S. Lewis once said, “Experience: that most brutal of teacher. But you learn, my God do you learn.” I agree with Lewis because everyone can pick up a book, read a few pages and say that I have learned. But only few can state that I have learned from an experience. Luckily, I was given the opportunity to become one of those who have learned from experience by observing a technologist. While observing, I was able to gain knowledge that I never thought I would achieve. Through this paper, I will share all my observations and personal thoughts on the things I learned.

Though I have known for a few months the basic path I have wanted to take regarding my career, Political Science, I hadn’t focused the general study down enough to be helpful enough to find a career path. After this course, I realized that I had a passion for design and international relations. Using these two factors, I was able to narrow down my major so that it would have an emphasis on international relations, with an urban planning minor. With this combination of knowledge, I am able to focus on developing communities in an international sense, along with being able to focus on developing communities nationally or even
