Sustainable future and the general education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Education is an activity of helping people to live independently. The essential aspect of education lies in the fact that the man of today teaches the man of tomorrow. Although tomorrow will be made by the choices what we make today, the responsibility for tomorrow is not on our shoulders but on the shoulders of next generation. The fundamental dilemma of education reveals itself in the reality of that we who cannot take over the responsibility for the future have to educate the next generation who cannot avoid that responsibility for their own times, especially in the period of rapid changes occurring nowadays. We have to educate the next generation to be able to get over the crisis and threats of the future bravely facing to the changes and overcoming the challenges. The crisis are very: the crisis of peace and democracy and the one of rapid climate change; on the one hand, on the other hand the threats comes from the unstable job markets. Education has to provide endless abilities with which the next generation will surmount the crisis and adjust themselves with the changes. The abilities are of critical thinking, humility, moral judgment, caring, inclusion, communication, and of self-learning that the next generation has to cultivate throughout their life. Only then will future sustainability be secured. The cultivation of these qualities is also the goal of both human formation education and civic education. General education at universities also aims the cultivation of these qualities. The times, therefore, demand that universities provide more elaborated general education. Global crises and changes affect dramatically East Asia. East Asia has unfortunate histories, sometimes summoned by politics. The ill-fated histories amplify these crises and cause regional tensions. In order to build a healthy foundation for life in East Asia, it is a urgent necessity to carry out collaborative research among general educators and the development of joint educational programs for the students in the region.
