The speaker asserts that every nation should help support to develop a global university designed to engage students to solve the world's most persistent social problems. While there may be some problems in building such a university, I agree with the speaker that such a university should be built with efforts of all nations to solve some enduring social problems.

To begin with, there are a great many global problems that require all nations to solve together. For example, the greenhouse effect that is caused by the increasing discharge of carbon dioxide from industries and automobiles in all countries is a typical international problem. It cannot be solved by any single nation and hence/thus all nations have to make efforts together. Also, global trade, extinction of species, explosion of population and so forth are problems requiring all nations to take actions jointly. As a result, it is necessary to develop an international platform for example, a global university for people from distinct nations to get together to seek out ways to solve those global problems.

Furthermore, in a global university teachers and students with diverse cultures and academic backgrounds can communicate with each other to get better solutions to social problems. Because students and teachers in this university can see other countries’ experiences of success or failure to solve certain problems, based on which they can develop better solutions. Moreover, the ways they find to solve global problems will be considerably feasible because they come from different nations and their solution must take account of the situations of all nations. Such a global university has an advantage to solve the world's most persistent problems by providing a international platform for communication.

Admittedly, there may be some problems in building such a global university because every nation has its own interest and its distinct policies. For example, the developed countries may expect this university to solve the global economic problems first while the African nations hope that the food and health problems in Africa can be solved as the top priority. Moreover, certain researches may be supported by some governments while prohibited by governments in other countries. So Therefore/Consequently, governments in all nations must negotiate to attain an agreement on these problems and other problems about how to change these decisions and so forth.

In sum, since there are a host of problems that cannot be solved by any single nation and students as well as teachers from different nations get together can help solve the global problems effectively, such a global university indeed requires to be developed is required to be developed with the support of all nations. And governments in diverse nations have to make efforts together to deal with the problems in building such a university.
