Problems.

 
       English knowledge is in part a necessary factor (some would say) of the globalization process…or is it something else?  Many, many people have embraced it as if it were a “stairway to heaven”.  In part, I feel that what has happened over the past twenty or so years is one big “confidence trick”…a scam driven by economics and crowd psychology.  It has deceived an entire generation, who are “waiting for Godot”, “searching for El Dorado”, and chasing “relative” and not “absolute” development.  A party has been rumored, everyone is invited!—so they say; the people throw on their evening clothes, show up, open their eyes…and “awake to find it is vanity”.  I feel that only a few people have reached the point where they “open their eyes”.
