Globalization
Debate abounds over whether globalization is good or bad for the self, the family, the nation, and the world. Some pessimists see increased interdependence as a terribly destructive trend, while optimists see a more diverse, better life for all. Some people argue that the world is no more globalized than it was in the waning days of the British Empire, but some see an information revolution that is unparalleled in history and widespread in its implications.
Despite its reputation as an up-and-coming global competitor, India’s economic growth has been stunted by the limited higher-education opportunities – with only 7 percent of young adults entering universities. Recognizing the demand of Asia’s university-aged population, American schools seek to establish relationships with their counterparts in countries such as China and India. Through satellite campuses, exchange programs and research collaboration, US universities tap into the Indian market and enhance the competitiveness of their graduates. The US representatives also ask that the Indian government put aside “strict rules that currently apply to all government-accredited universities in India on fees, staff salaries and curriculums.” A US education is expensive by Indian standards, but students of India believe a college degree holds the key for entrance into the global marketplace.
