"All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problems."
My writing:
While globalization is the current trend in many aspects of the world's affairs, we cannot ignore the local need in the society. The benefits of the globalization can never replace the local's, in fact, if a nation want to handle global matters, it must have a mature legislation, a peace society, a well-developed economy, and a high-quality education.
There are many needs and diverse levels in a society, so cannot pay attention only in education. The firm construction of a society is a premise of the advance of education. For example, National Taiwan University works hard for promoting the ranking among all the universities in the world in the past decade, but the president of NTU cannot only focus on the publishing and SCI. He also needs to drive the reconstruction of the old building, the reformation of the regulations, and the better quality of the facilities. The management of a school is complicated, just like a country. Therefore, having a well economy system, a sound health insurance, and the balance opportunities to work is crucial for the better education.
The goal of a university may not be solving the world's most persistent social problems. If we really have the point of global view, we may find out that there many options we can try to improve our world. For a doctor, an economist, a scientist, a businessman, or an officer, they have their different ways to concern the problems of this world. For instance, a scientist invents a new method to cultivate rice which can have more harvest; this is an approach to solve the food problem in many poor countries. So, the goal of a university should be board and diverse.
In consequence, we need to strengthen the foundation of our society and broaden our view in the education, and we can really solve the problems in the world.
