Global Economic Crisis
Under a global Economic Crisis, are there courses or jobs that have become redundant or irrelevant?
Do we need to restructure our educational system to make it more responsive? Or more competitive in the international job market?
As the crisis goes on, jobs and professions not related to necessities will slowly slow down, or even disappear.
Regarding education, at this moment the most important function of education and media would be to teach people why this crisis has happened, and how we could change our own nature, behavior, and most importantly attitude towards each other to get out of the crisis, and prevent future ones.
That is because the main reasons for the crisis are nothing else but our selfish nature, exploiting the others, and the newly global, interconnected world, where this behavior cannot exist without harming and destroying.
