Globalization Process Impact on the Professional and Legal Status of the Younger Generation

Abstract

The article discusses the features of the globalization changes that affect all aspects of modern youth life. The six main approaches to the education of the XXI century are analyzed: free access to education, investing in human resources, innovative technologies in teaching and learning, the value of learning itself, reconsidering the issues of leadership and counseling, bringing education closer to the consumer. Technological progress has caused disappearance of some professions. These changes have become an alarming signal for young people all over the world. Existing changes necessitated changes in approaches to education in general. The educational programs of the future should be designed not for mastering of the learning material by the student, but for the development of analytical, creative thinking that can find its practical application in the future professional activities. The author argues that it is more difficult for young people today to realize themselves in a competitive social environment. Therefore, the younger generation is forced to study throughout life, develop their creativity and analytical thinking, since no technologically perfect intelligence can match the human unlimited and all-encompassing mind.
