Our Future

In Tony Wagner’s article “Rigor Redefined”. He talks about the seven survival skills that everyone needs to know to survive in our changing world. A lot of schools are teaching kids what they need to know but not how to critically think to solve some questions.
            The seven survival skills are essential for everyone young and old. Since we have put our world in an unstable state everything is changing so we have to be able to adapt which is the third skill in the article. The first skill, critical thinking and problem solving, has to be used in our everyday life too. If you were to come across an obstacle you would have to be able to think about how to get around on your own. This skill is getting harder for each new generation to learn because they are lazy.
We need more people to be able to solve our world wide problems. People who have learned and understand the seven survival skills. With those skills we could solve the pollution problem or maybe find an energy source that will last forever. These seven skills can unlock great potential for our word’s future.
