Is it necessary tobuilt a global university that engage students in solving the world'smost persistent social problems? It is a good idea to bring studentsfrom different parts of the world together to participate (in) such aproblem solving process, probably it will facilitate the solution ofmany global social problems. (这是一句话?不是问句吗?) But I don't think (如果可以避免think,尽量避免,比如可以用in my perspective)a global university is aprerequisite (感觉prerequisite一般是什么什么的前提条件,这利用necessity是不是更好一点?),(,改成;) other ways are also effective.
With the improvement oftransportation and the appearance of the Internet, countries areassociated more closely than ever before. A problem in one country iseasily extended to the rest of the world. For instance, the economiccrisis in USA in 2008 quickly spread to other countries. And a hacker canattack any computer around the globe. Therefore, many social problemsshould be addressed from a global perspective. Since college studentsare going to assume much social responsibility in the next few decades,it will serve the interests of the all nations by bringing studentstogether to engage in such problems. Students from different countrieshave approach to the same issue, and they understand problems fromdifferent perspectives. So they will inspire each other and broaden thevision field of each other. I have once attended a seminar that isfocused on the Cold War. Students from China, USA, Japan and Koreaattended the seminar. Students from different countries have variousunderstanding of the Cold War, which impressed me very much. (这部分可以把句子整合一下吗?感觉短句简单句比较多)In thisprocess, we learned the idea and concern of peoples in other parts ofthe world. Someone may argue that language is an obstacle to suchcommunication. In my opinion, this concern is unwarranted. Actually,most college students in non English-speaking countries can speakEnglish in (去掉in) these days, although not fluently. So it does not pose areal problem. (觉得楼主举的例子都不错,挺有代表性,对论证很有帮助)
Despite the benefitthat might be brought by communication, a global university is notnecessarily to be established. In fact, a global university may not beable to fulfill its educational goal----- promoting the solving ofglobal persistent social problems. One problem is that differentcountries place priority on different problems. For instance, Japanconcerns the global warming, since the most populated area in Japan isalong the Pacific Ocean. But Mongo does not care about that since it island-locked. However, only a limited number of issues can be discussedin the global university, so it is difficult to determine which issueshould be addressed first. Another problem is that admission ofstudents is based on certain value system, but this can lead to aselection bias: students of certain background are more likely to beaccepted. For example, Chinese students enrolled in US universitiesalways come from big cities in China, and are interested in laboratorywork but do not care much about social issues (后边这半句感觉和录取标准无关). Apparently, a selectionbias is not what the global university intends for, and studentsrepresentative of people of all backgrounds are more favorable. Sincethe problems mentioned above is almost unavoidable, this globaluniversity is likely to deviate from its original objective. (喜欢你这个论点)
In fact, there areother ways to summon students around the globe. One way is to establisha forum online, where students from different parts of the world areable to express their idea freely. To improve the benefit of suchforum, professors around the world can be employed to tutor thestudents who register for the forum. This employment can be financed byUN or UNESCO. Actually such forums already exist, such as thesocial-political forum in StudentDoctor Net. But at present, none ofthem are supervised by specialist in social science. Nevertheless itmight be a more realistic way than a global university to prompt thesolving of global problems.
In sum, communicatingamong students around the world is a good way to prompt the solution ofcurrent global social problems. But a global university is not likelyto fulfill this goal in a way that is more advantageous than a forum onthe Internet, because there are inherented problems of such auniversity which is difficult to be addressed.
