Advanced Composition Term Paper:
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 going to investigate in this paper. The global economy is the system
pertaining to the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services around
the globe. It is important that we understand the global economy because it is and will be
affecting the way we learn, work and live. How all of these factors are affected will be
discussed in the following paper.
     I take the position that the global economy will hurt the next generation of
Americans.
     One argument for this position is that our schools are not adequately preparing out
students for the types of new work that will be required in the next generation. American
schools are using teaching techniques that taught existed in the 1950's. Textbooks date back

chapter, they rewind you and press the 'play' button to see if you can repeat everything they
said."1 Also, our schools are not stressing the importance of math and science. Because of
this fact, foreign born workers such as engineers are taking over the jobs American workers
could have.  Our students need to be truly smart because memorized skills can only go so
far. Grades cannot always determine the real skills of the students. Anybody can receive a
diploma but what do these grades really mean? Not much unless a student can apply their
memorized skills for the new way of work. "Just possibly we have a surplus of graduates
and a scarcity of real skills."2 The improvement of our educational system, not the number
of degrees we hand out, is the only way the next generation can thrive in the global
economy.
