I think that Jim Rogers is trying to say that children now need to have global experience, instead of just " bravery, hardwork, curiosity and compassion". He said that US is now a depleting superpower, as the government did not emphasise on education. " Only a quarter primary school offer any language instruction at all". This shows that other than English, Americans simply do not care about their future by learning other languages etc. Now, the rising super power is the East, not the west, and the creditors are from the East, while the debtors are from the West.

That is why he travelled half the world, just to seek a bilingual school in Singapore, to make sure that his daughter receives the best education he thinks. Jim Rogers feel that in order to prepare his daughter for the future, she needs not only the chinese langauge, but appropriate education. Singapore provides this well.

I do agree with his argument as I feel that to become a global citizen. One needs to be open to the world, and most important, understand their culture and communicate well with them. It is necessary to do that, as communication is the root of all success. If one person does not know the culture of another when discussing business, he or she may accidentally insult the other party. That is why to be a global citizen is very important.

I feel that what he is doing is very good for his daughter. This is because the daughter will now know chinese language and it is China that is tipped to be the next superpower. I feel that America should change their education policy in order to remain as the superpower. They do not emphasise on important aspects of education, and the new generation of Americans are no more the dominant generation.
