3. growing as a country

After watching Changing Education Paradigms and 21 century enlightenment I believe that Matthew Taylor's  point was we need to do better as a nation, we need to raise standards and lift the bar higher. In the 21 century enlightenment he talks about how he believes people have the ability to adapt. He states that we are not very good at making long term decisions and these are the kind of things that get us into trouble not only as people but as a nation. We need to plan for our futures like it says in Changing Education Paradigm less and less people are deciding to get a higher education because they believe there is no point. If we stop believing in high education that will affect so much of our future as people and as a nation. As people it will defiantly effect our job opportunity, there will be fewer doctors and lawyers because no one would take the time to go to school and better themselves. Then as a nation we will have fewer people that are employed. Unemployment will get higher and higher with every passing year. He goes on to say that he does believe we have the ability to change we have come so far since our cave man days and technology has advanced with every passing year. So we are intelligent we are capable of making this world better with each passing day but we are also capable of destroying it. This is what he was trying to make us think about we are a country and a world with such great potential how we use it determines everything.
