Critically Discuss A Major Global Issue Facing Your Own Country

Higher education has a vast history; beginning in the early colonial period and spanning ten generations. With its wide range of history, aspects of higher education have changed as the ideals and reforms of society adjusted. Albeit, the missions and purposes of college have remained the same. In this paper, I will clarify the three main missions and purposes of higher education. Then, I will shift the focus of the paper to the area I would like to pursue in higher education and how it reflects those purposes.

Educational goals are seen to be an area of great concern in the era of globalization. Universities will continually play a immense role increasing a better society. (S. Chinnammai, 2005)

There are many issues facing America today, that simultaneously affect those around the globe. When trying to decide what is worse for the United States of America; being too involved in the affairs of other nations troubles or allowing evil to run free, we have to carefully look at both sides. I believe that evil can be contained, but we cannot be the babysitter of other nations.

The reason that Slaughter and Rhoads are able to characterize higher education as “simultaneously a welfare function of the state

I. A worldview is a person's concept of what the world is, how the world operates, and the place he or she has in the world. The worldview can also encompass the philosophy of life held by the person, because life philosophy and understanding of the world are generally linked to one another. In other words, a person who has a highly religious worldview would very likely have a philosophy of life that encompassed the need for a kinder world, and that included the relationship between what happens in this world and the promise of an afterlife. The person who has an atheistic worldview would be expected to have a philosophy of life that was different from that of a religious person, and that encompassed different things that were important to that person. A worldview can change over time, of course, because it is generally shaped by parents and school at an early age. As a person ages, he or she explores the world and sees it differently, which can lead to a change in the overall worldview held by that person and how he or she will choose to respond to the world in the future.

America is among the super powers in the world but this does not prevent it from having problems. Just like other Nation's America struggles with some issues. The list of the problems is endless however there are some issues that are of importance as compared to others. Therefore these issues should be recognized and addressed as such. Among these issues are; the upward transfer of wealth. Since 1970's there has been a continuous trend of the rich getting richer as the middle class and poor remain in their states with no change whatsoever. This has been a continuous process; approximately 90% of the gains that are realized from the years of economic recovery go only to the 1% which is the rich in the society. The other 99% do not gain from this and that is why they remain as they are whether the economy has recovered or remains the same (Darkworld, 2013).

"Design New American University" is to discuss the current education system, and provide outdated and obsolete format, according to some important figures in this field. In the book's introduction, Michael Raven and William De Barles put forward a different point of view, some of the topics related to this subject have been introduced this ongoing discussion. These ideas are used to reinforce their views on the "New American University"

Political culture as a whole has a direct impact on higher education. The chain of command established is created in order to ensure that all systems have a say in what policies are created to manage universities, with a Board of Regents directing over the state’s higher education. Both California and Louisiana’s systems operate differently, but have some similarities as well.

The education system is an organized, purposeful structure consists of laws, policies, and regulations to regulate the education in schools and colleges in a systematic way. The education system plays a vital role in the development of the student life career and which simultaneously affects the development of the country. Every country has their own education system depending on the government. In the same way, there are lots of contrast in the education system between the US and Nepal, but the main distinctions are flexibility, technology, teaching style of the professors and education policies of the country.

When I was in Vietnam, after doing some research, UC Davis became my dream university. Two reasons made UC Davis stood out from nine campuses of UC systems were UC Davis was known for the school with friendliest students and bicycle friendly community. Finally, I made my dream come true in four years. By having a great chance to study in a public university in Vietnam and in UC Davis, I can examine many big differences between university systems in the United States and those in developing country. In my perspectives, UC Davis is an open system while many public universities in Vietnam are still closed systems. For example, UC Davis recognizes and responses to the feedback from environment such as professors, students, and so on. However, because

At the heart of this framework is acknowledgement of the distinctive nature of teaching in higher and further education, respect for the autonomy of higher and further education institutions, and recognition of the sector’s understanding of quality enhancement for improving student learning.

Global Politics The study of international or rather global politics, seeks to provide an account of politics in the broadest domain. The domain of international politics in the twenty-first century is characterised by the increasing number of actors pursuing common and personal interests. It is largely due to the globalised, interdependent nature of the current international political environment that the concepts of sovereignty and power deserve further evaluation.

Vietnam is politically very stable and with one party control i.e. Communist Party, the country continues to achieve higher political stability. “Political” aspect is very important for Vietnam as the country continues to have many State Owned Enterprises (SOE) that play major roles in economy of the country. Therefore, it is important for Vietnam to have a stable government that is able to provide good governance and control over SOEs and other business activities. There are some good decisions taken by current government such as freedom of press. However, the country faces some disputes over certain matters such as Vietnam – China and U.S. – Vietnam tensions are major concerns for government. These tensions make it difficult for government to

The issue of global warming should be on the list of our top priorities. Studies show that the average of global temperatures have risen since the Industrial Revolution began. Since the Industrial Revolution, human emissions has quadrupled the frequency of certain heat extremes and many scientists have warned that a failure to bring greenhouse gases under control could eventually lead to a 62-fold increase in extreme heat blasts (Gillis Justin A17). Most of the increase is due to human activities, especially the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. These activities contribute to a build-up in carbon dioxide and other gases in Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth’s atmosphere is made of gases like nitrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen. These gases act as a blanket that covers and gives us warmth, but once these gases such as carbon dioxide absorbs heat, but does not release it back into space in which causes the increase in global temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect because it only traps heat but does not release it.

The two main institutions predominantly concerned with education are Universities and Schools. It may be argued that the main purpose of Universities is to advance the
