¶ … Brain Race: An Examination
Globalization, evolution and technology. It's notable that when many professionals discuss these elements, they talk about them with fear and apprehension. On the other hand Ben Wildavsky presents the rapid evolution of mankind across the globe and the manner in which higher education is being transformed with celebration and open arms. Wildavsky looks particularly at the phenomenon of international students studying outside their homes, increasing each year. The elite universities that exist around the world aren't just those that exist in the western hemisphere, but in places like Saudi Arabia and Russia. With the rapid development of the internet, satellite campuses have become an even more growing trend, and that more and more opportunities are expanding to more people. Wildavsky demonstrates that the fervor created in the international arena characterized by the desire to get ahead and become more and more elite, creates a global marketplace for educational institutions and is offering up a wealth of opportunities.
Summary
Wildavsky uses his extensive reporting experience throughout the world and records what one can interpret as being a high level of international mobility of students and faculty, along with the rapid expansion of campuses along with the expansion of university rankings being taken to a more international arena. Wildavsky uses words like "global meritocracy" and that really couldn't be more accurate in describing what is actually a spread of knowledge all around the globe, something which is beneficial to all people. Wildavsky is able to present his argument in a truly cohesive manner: he discusses how universities are able to both offers a large proportion of knowledge while offering skilled individuals, such as students, the help that they need to make use of it. Wildavsky also describes the use of league tables as something being used more and more frequently as a means of demonstrating the growth and importance of a particular university and the university scene as a whole in nations all around the globe.
