Suppose the manufacturing labor market, which is nonunionized, is in equilibrium at a wage equal to $25.

After an employer pays the cost of educating a worker, the

Many Questions: Perhaps it is not important to ask what happened, perhaps it is. What must be important is what can you or I do, at the community, or at a national level? What can we do at a global level to make a healthier economy so that young people can once again have a reasonable expectation that if they work hard they can make a living? Was there ever a time where this was a reasonable expectation, or is it a false sense of history looking back through rose colored glasses?

What is important to me (I'm closer to 60 than I'd like to admit) is to recognize that we have the technologies to feed everyone in the world and energy sources to do it with much less pollution. We could prevent the global warming we are now experiencing, and provide better healthcare to many people in the world. We have the resources and knowledge base, but it is increasingly clear that so far we lack the will as a species.

More Questions: How do we resolve these two huge disconnects between the huge unemployment of youth worldwide indicating a failing economy and failure to respond to fundamental human needs, while at the same time we do have the means available to resolve many issues?  

What do you think? Is there a solution to this puzzle? What can we do to put the pieces of the puzzle together for the sake of humanity? Is there a way to save humanity and other creatures of the earth from ourselves, to make a better life and a brighter future for Greek, Italian, Egyptian and American youths? Our economies are, after all, connected now. Is there a way to do this without destroying Indigenous and other cultural traditions? Will they be able to keep on doing what they have for generations?

How to implement the below mentioned 05 measures (to enhance good governance) in schools?

• Eliminate the industrial age values: All day long, students do nothing but follow only instructions. At school, the childrens are awarded for exactly what theu taught. In this modern world, inorder to live, we should be competitive, skillful and creative. Thus this industrial age values should be removed and children should get chances to develop such skills.
• Implementing autonomy and control : At schools, our children experience a complete lack of autonomy and control. Every minute of a child's life is entirely controlled by the system. The children should be given chances on making decisions, what to do and when to do.
• Removal of inauthentic learning : Most of the learnings that happens in schools todays is not authentic because it deals on memorization and wrote learning. The learned things may forget after the exams. The learning system should be made more authentic without just memorization. Exams should be conducted on the basis of practicals more than written exams.
• Creating a room for passions and interests : we have an extremely standardized system where each child must learn the something at the same time in the same way. This doesn't respect the basic quality of being human that each was unique and have their own potentials. Thus the system should provide space for each child to determine children's passion and interests.
• Mode of lecturing : In the current system, children are lectured more than five hours a day. Each of the students have their own level of understanding. Thus the lectures should be made fully digitalized with videos and animations. Thus all children can catch the concepts very easily.
