Terrorism, ethnocentrism, religious tension, competition over
limited resources, war - these are just a few of the problems and
challenges that have emerged in today's global economy.
Globalization both implies and requires economic interdependence;
and this should bring with it a heightened sense of the
interconnectedness of the participating societies. But
unfortunately, as recent events indicate, rather than our having
formed a global community, today's society is more fragmented than
ever. In light of this, education faces some formidable new
challenges. How do we prepare future citizens for the world they
will live in? How do we teach future generations to embrace the
paradox of accepting the value of multiculturalism despite the
conflicts it has produced? How do we instill religious tolerance in
a time when fundamentalism has become inextricably tied with
terrorism? How do we promote economic growth in the face of
overpopulation and its depletion of resources? The authors of this
collection of essays explore these and related challenges, and they
suggest some novel ways of dealing with them.
