The cold war is over. The domestic economy is global. Our world is in flux. The approach of the 21st century foreshadows not simply a new millennium, but a completely new and different globe. Jobs lost at home reappear abroad.
Industrial accidents spread pollution across borders.
Public health problems vault oceans. Goods and services flow freely across borders and among great trading blocs. American graduates must compete with their peers from overseas. We will either rediscover our relationships globally or develop the dangerous and sometimes fatal attitude of isolationism. This country is struggling in its own soul as to whether we are a part of the larger human community.
