What are the big issues?
Description
Vest hopes that we can recognize the opportunity inherent in globalization.
Question: What are the big issues?
D. Quinn M ills: I read the newspaper and watch the news a great deal, and I'm looking for certain things. I'm looking one to keep myself in formed as to what is going on. Secondly, I am looking for what are the major trends and developments that are going on, I never read or listen except critically. One of the great weaknesses of American education and I think education in most of the world today is we don't train people to be critical in their thinking. If they read something, they accept it--most of them do--they do not think through it and think about, "is this accurate, why did this persons say this," but that's not consistent with what I just looked at yesterday or what this person said before. So I always read critically and when I am looking for a major trends and significant in consistencies, because, where there are consistencies, that tells me that there going to be problems.
