A New Can of Worms

The idea of a global society and the disasters that await opens a new can of worms as the 3E's of Tomorrow: Efficiency, Environment, and Economy push education over the edge as it becomes a competition where every nation fights to be the next super power. Much like propaganda during the Cold War, the idea of competing at a global level introduced fear and paranoia to educators around the world who realize that like a strong army, a nation must also have a strong education system; one that produces scholars and powerful leaders for the future that lays ahead. Fabricated learners in every essence of the word.

The idea of creating fabricated learners isn't too far off. Technology pushes man forward towards efficiency and education is no exception. With each step, technology brings educators closer to creating smarter and faster students who use the skills they've learned in school to tackle the impending threats that lay ahead. The time and money that goes into education gives even further reason for creating fabricated learners. Times are tough and education isn't the only one on the hit or miss list. All these factors create propaganda and induce paranoia to parents and leaders who strife to be the best they can.

In many ways the attempts are futile as education is pushed off a cliff along with the ethics and morals that once resembled its foundation. The can of worms that paranoia and propaganda have introduced to education in the 21st century have left little chance for tomorrow leaders who will face the impending threats that lay ahead.

Sincerely, Hector Guzman
